“This is a ripe, perfumed wine. Aged in wood, it is full bodied, rich, complex and packed with black-plum flavors. The tannins are almost soft enough and this wine should be ready from 2021.” ROGER VOSS
The Château de Lescours was built in 1341. Its name comes from its first lord: Pey de Lascortz, squire of the King of England Edward III (1327-1377).
The Castle served in 1582 and 1583, as an asylum, to Henri de Navarre (future Henri IV), as well as to several other great figures.
Located in a meander of the Dordogne, in the heart of the prestigious Saint-Emilion Appellation, the Château de Lescours is located in the middle of an 80 hectare park.
The vineyard covers almost 8 hectares in the Saint-Emilion Grand Cru appellation. It is planted on sandy and gravelly soil.
As for the other 72 hectares, they correspond to a wetland ecosystem which Pierre CHARIOL is keen to preserve biodiversity. Its goal: to encourage the arrival of birds, and the reproduction of many local species (plants and animals).
