| Description: | Holy Cow! The layers and depth on this Cru Artisan Bordeaux are stunning!. The vineyards for the Saint Estephe of La Peyre are situated in the village of Leyssac in the same zone as that of Montrose and Haut-Marbuzet. There are a total of eight hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years (as of 2011). The soil is predominantly gravel with a mix of clay. The grape mix for the Saint Estephe is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc. The alcoholic fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks and then the wine is aged in small oak barrels (about one-third of which is new) for an additional 15 to 18 months before being bottled (without filtration). To classify as Cru Artisan the estates must be family businesses that cultivate their own grapes, make, market and sell their own wines. The estates are small and tend to be around 6 hectares (14.8 acres) in size. Attaining Cru Artisan status is an explicit recognition of the wine maker's exceptional craftsmanship and passionate dedication to his land, vines and wines. |
