Le Comte Michel de Peyrelongue : Owner / CEO 

In 1947, on graduating from an agricultural college (ESAP), Michel de Peyrelongue immediately modernises and replants the family vineyard. 

By that time, only 49 acres of vines were left, planted under the monarchy, which produced 200 hectolitres of a really delicious sweet white wine. However the fashion for this style of wine was past and it was necessary to change to meet the challenge of new markets. That is why he planted sauvignon and classic red varieties, thus renewing and adding fresh vigour to the wine growing tradition of Péchaurieux.

The estate has been managed and modernised with a stable overview. The vine has been cultivated in harmony with the site and respecting the environment: careful, up to date winemaking without the excesses of modern fads. The wine is bottled at the Château, guaranteeing both quality and authenticity.
