List of products by brand CHÂTEAU PEYROU

Set on the clay soils at the foot of the Castillon slopes in Saint-Magne-de-Castillon, Château Peyrou covers 10 hectares under the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation, with a vineyard dominated at 90% by Merlot. Acquired in 1989 by oenologist Catherine Papon-Nouvel, the château converted to organic farming in 2008 — certified by Ecocert — and has since established itself as one of the appellation's most reliable addresses, producing reds that combine the generosity of Castillon Merlot with genuine ageing potential. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its organic viticulture, the precision of its cellar work, and the consistency of its wines across vintages. A sound, terroir-driven Bordeaux for those who want substance and integrity in the glass.

Château Peyrou is one of the addresses we follow most closely within the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation. Guided by a trained oenologist and committed to organic farming since 2008, it represents some of the most precise and honest winemaking this stretch of the right bank has to offer.

Clay soils at the foot of the Castillon slopes

Saint-Magne-de-Castillon lies in the Gironde, to the east of Saint-Émilion, in a part of Bordeaux's right bank where the clay soils at the base of the hillsides provide excellent conditions for Merlot. These deep, moisture-retaining argillaceous soils give the wines a natural richness and structure without the need for heavy intervention in the cellar. The 10-hectare vineyard of Château Peyrou sits squarely within this terroir, and the choice to plant 90% Merlot — complemented by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon — reflects a clear understanding of what the land does best.

Catherine Papon-Nouvel: an oenologist at the helm since 1989

When Catherine Papon-Nouvel acquired Château Peyrou in 1989, she brought with her a rigorous, technically informed approach to viticulture and winemaking. Her oenological background has shaped every aspect of the château's development, from vine management to élevage. Rather than chasing trends, she has focused on expressing the character of the terroir with consistency and clarity — qualities that have earned the château a solid reputation within the Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux appellation over more than three decades.

Certified organic since 2008

The conversion to organic farming began in 2008, with Ecocert certification confirming the château's commitment to working without synthetic pesticides or herbicides. This was not a commercial decision but a logical extension of Catherine Papon-Nouvel's philosophy: that honest wine begins in the vineyard, and that the health of the soil is inseparable from the quality of the fruit. The organic approach suits the clay terroir well, encouraging deep root development and reinforcing the natural balance of the vines. Château Peyrou stands today as one of the more established organic producers in the appellation.

Why we have selected Château Peyrou

We have listed Château Peyrou for three reasons that matter to us as a family merchant. First, the rigour: organic certification since 2008, with a genuine commitment to the vineyard rather than a marketing label. Second, the consistency: year after year, this château delivers reds with real character — the generous, fleshy quality of Castillon Merlot balanced by freshness and a capacity to age. Third, the value: Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux remains one of Bordeaux's most rewarding appellations for quality relative to price, and Château Peyrou is among its most dependable names.

We recommend these wines to enthusiasts who appreciate right-bank Bordeaux and want a bottle with genuine terroir behind it. At the table, they pair beautifully with roast lamb, duck confit, or a well-aged hard cheese.
