St Alvère in the Périgord :
the first truffle market
in France to have gone
on-line !

The 30-year old vineyard is situated on a South, South-east facing chalk-clay hillside, combining all the elements necessary to the production of an excellent wine. The red and rosé wines are blended from Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The white grape varieties, Sémillon and Muscadelle was planted in spring 2003. The vinification uses traditional methods with vat elevage, except in the case of a 100% Merlot cuvée whose elevage takes place in oak barrels. This ‘cuvée’ represents approximately 3500 bottles.

The grapes are harvested manually until they are two years old and machine-harvested afterwards. The harvesting machine is, however, a recent model which is careful with the fruit and does not harm the plants.
