Château Les Tours de Peyrat

Château Les Tours de Peyrat boasts a 15-hectare vineyard, cradled in the commune of Saint Paul de Blaye, in the Bordeaux region, and is the fruit of four generations' work. The Château Les Tours de Peyrat estate, long established by the Tanets, could have left the family for lack of heirs had Christelle not taken it over in 1997. Thanks to her care, Château Les Tours de Peyrat continues to produce AOC Côtes de Blaye wine.

When she arrived, she wanted to give Château Les Tours de Peyrat a new impetus, in line with her own concerns as a mother about food products and the environment. Because it's important to her to play an active role in the production of quality wine, she has adapted a number of techniques to the Château Les Tours de Peyrat vineyard that she feels are necessary, notably manual de-budding and de-suckering, leaf thinning and thinning to reduce yields and concentrate the grape's constituents. Mindful of the legacy she will pass on to her children, and in view of consumers' concerns about the environment in recent years, Christelle has signed up to a CTE (Contrat Territorial Exploitation) with the French government, thus committing herself to reasoning out every cultivation practice in favor of quality, the environment and employment.
