Chateau La Rose Perriere 2018 75cl alvear from vines which average 40Tasting Note Producer Chteau La Perrire 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 word pierrire, meaning rock quarry. There are currently 14 hectares of vines that benefit from a well drained clay limestone subsoil. Jean Luc Sylvain, a well known cooper from Bordeaux's Right Bank,
