Nestled within the picturesque Château Rigaud estate in Puisseguin-St-Emilion, lies a hidden gem known as La Mauriane. This small vineyard, owned by the esteemed Pierre Taïx, is a micro-cuvée that produces an extraordinary wine. A university lecturer in economics by profession, Pierre's passion for winemaking is evident in every aspect of La Mauriane.
With a portfolio of properties in Puisseguin and the neighbouring Côtes de Castillon, Pierre's expertise and dedication to his craft is reflected in the quality of his wines. La Mauriane is a true testament to this, with one of its three parcels consisting of 80-year-old vines planted by Pierre's own grandfather. This deep-rooted history adds a special touch to the wine, making it a true representation of the region's heritage.
Organically farmed, La Mauriane's vineyard is a haven for nature, allowing the grapes to develop with minimal interference. The blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon creates a harmonious balance of flavours and aromas, elevating the wine to new heights.
Each bottle of La Mauriane is a reflection of Pierre's passion, knowledge, and dedication to producing exceptional wines. With limited production and a loyal following, this wine is a true treasure for wine enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike. Experience the essence of Puisseguin-St-Emilion with every sip of La Mauriane.
