Château Saint-Pierre de Mejans
Cuvée Chapelle
On this very fertile terroir in the south of France (AOC Luberon) which deliver low yields, our guiding principle is we extract more finely in the vines than in the cellar. This red wine, with a beautiful ruby color, is well balanced between red fruits and silky tannins.
This blend of oak barrel red can be kept for 5 to 10 years). A reserve wine as the production is limited to 1100 bottles every year of our best grapes.
