Château de Peyrel
Le Rosette
Le Rosette is a soft, straw coloured white wine with fruity and floral aromas. Its rounded nose plays on the palate to provide a pleasantly refreshing note.
Our Rosette is a blend of traditional Bergerac white grape varieties: Sémillon (80%), Muscadelle (15%) and Sauvignon (5%). It is produced by cold skin maceration in the winery. Then the free run juice (the only one used for Le Rosette) is put into cold stabilisation. It is left to mature with the lees for twelve months.

Le Renaissance sec
Renaissance is the name of our barrel matured wine. We chose this patronymic to celebrate the revival of this historical vineyard whose wine making activity ended in 1950.
Our Renaissance sec is a blend of white grape varieties: Sémillon (97%) and Muscadelle (3%). It is produced through cold skin maceration. The free run juice (the only one used for the dry Renaissance) is put into cold stabilisation for two weeks prior to the barrel fermentation stage, which lasts for 12 months. We chose to work with 300 litre barrels from Burgundy, made from Nevers oak wood. This special maturation provides a lavish yet subtle wood note to this exceptional wine.
Tasting reveals : A pale yellow robe with hints of gold, with notes of Mirabelle plum, yellow peach, a hint of spices and white pepper, heightened by further notes of toasted brioche. It has a well rounded sweetness, with a hint of toast and dried fruit.
Food and wine pairing : Le Renaissance sec is an ideal companion for fish, seafood, creamed pike, turbot, snails in pastry, Mont d’Or, Boursault and dry goat cheeses. To be served chilled between 10 and 12°C.
