Description

The suppleness and complexity of an unmissable Grand Cru Classé from Saint-Émilion

Estate

Since the 16th century, the vineyard of Château Le Prieuré has been cultivated in the heart of Saint-Émilion. Formerly Premier Cru des Cordeliers, it was renamed at the dawn of the 20th century. A Grand Cru Classé de Saint-Émilion since 1955, Château Le Prieuré oversees a stunning vineyard composed of several vine plots. The talented Pénélope Godefroy, oenologist and agronomic engineer, vinifies wines in a harmonious style that reveal the full complexity of the Saint-Émilion terroir.

The vineyard

In conversion to organic farming and following biodynamic practices, Château Le Prieuré has a superb 6.24 ha vineyard divided into 19 parcels, enabling a precise, micro-parcel approach to viticulture to reveal the finest expression of this exceptional terroir of Saint-Émilion.

Blend

Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%).
