Winemakers Notes
Perse Latitudes
After a first life in retail marketing, Gérard Perse decided in the 90's to satisfy his passion for wine. His future will be written in Saint-Emilion, his favorite place. He acquired the châteaux Pavie, 1er grand cru classé "A" of Saint-Emilion, Pavie-Decesse, Monbousquet, grands crus classés of Saint-Emilion and then Bellevue-Mondotte, still in Saint-Emilion, and Clos Lunelles in Castillon, Côtes de Bordeaux.
Because wine is enhanced both by the location and the dishes associated with it, the Perse family bought the Hostellerie de Plaisance, a mecca of gastronomy and lifestyle, which later became the
Hotel de Pavie
and its double michelin-starred restaurant, the
Table de Pavie
. Since 2020, the collaboration with Yannick Alleno, a leader of French gastronomy, symbolizes a new dynamic and the great ambition carried by the family.
The 2021 vintage, a show jumping for experienced rider
Control of pace, lenght of stride and the trajectory necessary to guarantee a clear round.. the 2021 growing season often felt like taking part in a show jumping event. While anticipation and flexibility were essential factors, knowledge and experience in the vineyard were required to get through this vine cycle's tricky climatic episodes of this vintage. Just like the rider who trains and prepares his mount for a jumping event, it is also the result of precise and regular work carried out over time by loyal and passionate teams.
Clos Lunelles, full of promise.
Purchased in 2001, this 9-hectare property is located on a plateau in Saint Colombe, the highest point of the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, in the continuation of the limestone plateau of Saint-Emilion, whose characteristics it shares.
At the time of its purchase, the Perse family decided to focus on the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, which is unfairly underrated and full of promise. Since then, the estate has benefited from the high standards and expertise of the Perse family and its teams in order to reveal its full potential. Each year, the teams adjust their winemaking and ageing methods to produce wines that are accessible and faithful to their terroir.
