Winery Background: A Right Bank boutique winery that perfectly embodies the spirit of independent craftsmanship. Insisting on environmentally friendly sustainable agriculture, Agriculture Raisonne carefully selects essence old vines with an average age of 33 years and blends them with 80% Merlot at the core, focusing on preserving the purest, natural soul of the local terroir.
Flavor and Rating: Awarded 94 points from the authoritative wine reviewer James Suckling Extremely high praise! The master personally commented that it "shows a level of excellence beyond the level of the region". The wine is filled with full aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and high-grade gravel minerals; the tannins are fresh and chewy, the palate is three-dimensional and solidly structured, and the finish is deep and charming.
Superior Terroir: Unique clay limestone
Tour Perruchon has extremely superior Clay-limestone geology. The clay has excellent water retention, while the limestone provides good drainage and imparts a subtle minerality to the wine. This blend of natural soils provides the most ideal growing environment for Merlot and Cabernet Franc, resulting in a round, full fruity aroma and a solid body skeleton.
Craftsmanship: Romain Pascal, the driving force behind the scenes
Behind the quality grapes, the exquisite craftsmanship of winemaker Romain Pascal is indispensable. He did not blindly pursue traditional styles that required long aging, but cleverly used thermostatic stainless steel barrels for fermentation, coupled with precision impregnation Maceration technology. The core of this modern process lies in perfectly capturing the purest, most vibrant fruity aromas of the grapes, ensuring that the wines exhibit the ultimate smoothness and roundness upon bottling and leaving the factory.
Production Area Status: The dazzling satellite of St. Emilion
As one of the four “satellite regions” of St. Emilion, Lussac is located at the northernmost tip of the region. In the past, its superior terroir conditions were very similar to those of traditional century-old houses. It was not until the mid-twentieth century that Lysak was officially certified as an independent legal production area (AOC). The Chateau Tour Perruchon is the representative of the hard-working, extremely stable quality and internationally awarded strength in the region.
