Château le Payral is a family property of which Thierry DAULHIAC is the youngest son. This the vineyard of 15 ha is situated about 20 km from Bergerac on the South of river Dordogne between vineyards of Monbazillac and vineyards of Ste Foy- Bordeaux. Grapes are produced without use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Since 2006, wines are organic. We have also been using principles of “biodynamie” in the Vineyard and in the cellar. Its soils are clayey and limestone grounds. Area is so parcelled out.
Little 12-ha-property overlooking at the beautiful Dordogne valley, Château le Tap is located on an old quarry site registered in Napoleonic cadaster, in the place called “Tas de pierre” (i.e. pile of stones) shortened as “au Tap”. This is a excepcional terroir with clay-limestone soils.
There are 5,000 vines in each hectare, constituted by 50% of white grape varieties (Sauvignon, Sauvignon Gris, Sémillon, Muscadelle et Chenin), and 50% of red grape varieties (Merlot, Cabernet franc,cabernet Sauvignon et Malbec), they have a great exposure on the hills. Our culture method is organic since 2007, certified in 2010, respecting terroir’s balance, without pesticides nor fertilizers.
Standing on beautiful hills, Château La Maurigne represents 17 ha with 5 ha of vines and 2 ha of orchards that are currently under organic management.
The fauna and flora are preserved in order to maintain the exploitation with an organic balance. During the summer, you can find at least 10 varieties of wild orchids in the vines.
The Domaine des Costes’s name refers to the old French for “hillsides” (coteaux). It is located in Bergerac, one of the four towns producing Pécharmant appellation wines.
Since 1992, the vineyard is being cared of very carefully: replantation, poor yield, sustainable growing of vine, managing soils without weed killer.
Since 2003, the vine is worked in organic agriculture in an environmental way and in order to let the nature do its thing. We produce round, elegant and intense Pécharmant wines that you can keep for years. The rosé has delicate aromas.
The vineyard is located at the top of Pécharmant hill, oriented south. Tiny vine, with a view of Dordogne valley and Monbazillac hill. The land and vinification mixed together give this beautiful creation of an intense dark red wine with aromas of truffles, blackcurrants, and blackberries. This intensity and generosity underline a tannic structure that can age easily.
