Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Intense purple color. The nose exhibits perfumes of mocha, vanilla and toast, elegant and at times very powerful. The palate is rich with notes of ripened fruits. Delicate wine, very enjoyable young.

Blend: 90% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, & 5% Cabernet Sauvignon

Professional Ratings

  • 92
    A bold, ripe and juicy wine, this is developing well. Its big tannins and satisfying blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc show potential richness and structure. Blackberry and black-plum flavors are impressive. Drink from 2023.
  • 90
    Currant, dried herb, oyster shell and bark on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with sleek, fine tannins and a succulent, savory finish. Drink from 2022.

Chateau La Perriere, France

Château La Perrière is located in the commune of Lussac. Monks established a monastery here in the Middle Ages and were the first to plant vines.

The estate owes its name to an eponymous stream, which in turn takes its name from the French word pierrière, meaning rock quarry. There are currently 14 hectares (35 acres) of vines that benefit from a well-drained clay-limestone subsoil.

Jean-Luc Sylvain, a well-known cooper from Bordeaux's Right Bank, bought La Perrière in 2003 and shortly thereafter set about renovating the cellar, storage area, and vineyard. For a few years, Claire and Rémi have also chosen to follow their father and contribute to the building in the cooperage and the vineyard.

In most of France, wines are named by their place of origin and not by the type of grape (with the exception of Alsace). Just like a red Burgundy is by law, always made of Pinot noir, a red Bordeaux is a blended wine composed mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Depending on the laws of the village from which the grapes come, the conditions of the vintage and decisions of the winemaker, the blend can be further supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Petit Verdot and in rare cases, Carmenere. So popular and repeated has this mix of grape varieties become worldwide, that the term, Bordeaux Blend, refers to a wine blended in this style, regardless of origin.
