Château Saint-Pierre

Producer description of "Château Saint-Pierre"

The vineyard is located in the commune of Beychevelle in the Saint-Julien area of the Médoc (Haut-Médoc, Bordeaux). It has a very eventful history behind it, having been divided and reunited several times over the centuries. Viticulture was practised here as early as 1693. At that time, the estate was called Serançan and belonged to a Marquis de Cheverry. In 1767, it was acquired by the Baron de Saint-Pierre, who gave it its current name. After his death, it was divided between his two daughters, but was jointly classified in the fourth rank (Quatrième Grand Cru Classé) in the 1855 Bordeaux Classification. After several changes of ownership, Léon Sevaistre acquired one half in 1892, so that by the end of the 19th century there were two owner families with the two labels Château Saint-Pierre-Sevaistre and Château Saint-Pierre-Bontemps Dubarry.
