The winemaker

The history of Château Peyrabon

The first records mentioning Château Peyrabon date back to 1766, when it was already mentioned as a winery. This sumptuous Renaissance-style building had several owners, before being bought in 1998 by Patrick Bernard, a Bordeaux wine merchant and head of the Millésima company. The new owner undertook an extensive 2 million euro renovation of both vineyard and winery.

The Château Peyrabon vineyard

The Château Peyrabon vineyard lies in the heart of the Haut Médoc, a few kilometers from Pauillac and the Gironde estuary. Its vines belong to the Pauillac appellation. 5 hectares are devoted to the production of Château La Fleur Peyrabon wine, renowned for its excellence. The Château Peyrabon vineyard is dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, which accounts for 57% of the vines. This black grape variety is emblematic of the left bank of the Bordeaux region. The vineyard is completed by 35% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot.
