Chateau Le Prieure

Chateau Le Prieure

The 6.25 hectare Right Bank vineyard of Chateau Le Prieure is planted to 75% Merlot and 25% Cabernet Franc. The vineyards are a bit spread out. In fact, you can separate the vineyard into 19 different parcels. They have parcels located not far from Chateau Trottevieille, while other parcels are closer to Chateau Troplong Mondot, Chateau Pavie-Macquin and Chateau La Clotte. There are also parcels on the border between Saint Emilion and Pomerol. The terroir consists of thin layers of clay over limestone soils. However the level of quality in the vineyards varies, because the parcels are not contiguous. At their peak, the vineyards rise to 89 meters, giving them one of the highest elevations in Saint Emilion.On average the vines are kept at an average of 41 years of age. The vine density is 7,100 vines per hectare. Since 2008, the vineyard has practiced only sustainable farming management. Starting with the 2016 vintage, the estate moved to using only 100% organic and biodynamic farming techniques.
