Chateau Peymouton Saint Emilion Grand Cru 2019 750 ML

Chateau Peymouton is part of the estate of Chateau Laroque, a historic Grand Cru Classe of Saint-emilion located just 3.5 km east of the medieval village.nnChateau Laroque, one of the largest estates of the appellation, dates back to the 12th century. Thanks to its strategic position atop a limestone plateau overlooking the Dordogne river valley, it then acted as a key defensive stronghold to the nearby village. The vineyard itself was planted in the 18th century. The Beaumartin family acquired the property in 1935, and, in the 1960s, began modernizing the vineyard and winemaking facilities.nnIn 1996, Chateau Laroque was granted Grand Cru Classe status for 66 acres of its vineyard while the remaining 76 acres gave birth to a new wine: Chateau Peymouton, Saint-emilion Grand Cru.nnChateau Peymouton is represented by etablissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, a wine merchant with exclusive distribution rights of over twenty eminent Right Bank Chateaux.
