Vineyard

Château Peymouton is located on high plateau parcels of the estate (80‐100 meters in altitude) that are composed in part of a thin layer of rich clay over limestone, and partly of deep, thick red clay. These soils contribute density and structure to the wine that nonetheless retains the elegance imparted by the limestone.

The vineyard is planted to 70% merlot, 23% cabernet franc, and 7% cabernet sauvignon. Viticulture is certified HVE 3, the highest of the three levels of environmental certification for agricultural and viticulture farming in France.
