List of products by brand CHÂTEAU PEYROUTAS

Set on 2 hectares at Vignonet in the Gironde, Château Peyroutas produces a red Bordeaux from organically farmed Merlot and Cabernet Franc, grown on clay-limestone and sandy-gravelly soils with a full southerly aspect. The Thienpont family, whose roots in the Bordeaux vineyard stretch back nearly a century, converted this château to organic farming from the 2012 vintage and aligned it with the Terra Burdigala network alongside Stéphane Derenoncourt. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this château for the rigour of its organic approach, the coherence of its encépagement, and the credibility of a family whose Bordelais standing needs no introduction. A Bordeaux of real character — precise, grounded, and genuinely accessible.

Château Peyroutas offers a compelling vision of modern Bordeaux: a compact, family-run property of just 2 hectares, farmed organically since 2012, and carried forward by one of the Gironde's most enduring winemaking families.

Vignonet: a Gironde terroir east of Saint-Émilion

Château Peyroutas is situated in Vignonet, a quietly distinguished viticultural commune in the Gironde, lying to the east of Saint-Émilion. The position is telling: this is a landscape shaped by the same geological forces that give the wider right bank its character, and the soils here reflect that duality. The château works across two distinct soil types — clay-limestone and sandy-gravelly — which together provide both the structure and the drainage that Merlot and Cabernet Franc demand. The vineyards face south, maximising sun exposure across the growing season and encouraging steady, even ripening.

The Thienpont family: nearly a century in Bordeaux

The name Thienpont carries considerable weight in the Gironde. The family has been present in the Bordeaux vineyard for close to a century, accumulating a depth of knowledge and a network of relationships that few can match. At Château Peyroutas, it is François Thienpont who leads the project, bringing to this modest 2-hectare property the same seriousness of purpose that has defined the family's broader engagement with Bordeaux. The château is a member of the Terra Burdigala network, a collective that brings together the Thienpont family and consultant winemaker Stéphane Derenoncourt — a pairing that signals a shared commitment to terroir-driven, thoughtfully farmed Bordeaux.

Organic farming: a commitment since 2012

Château Peyroutas converted to certified organic agriculture from the 2012 vintage, making it an early mover in a region that has not always embraced organic viticulture readily. The certification is not a marketing posture: it reflects a genuine decision to work with the land rather than against it, reducing chemical inputs and allowing the clay-limestone and sandy-gravelly soils to express themselves more fully. The encépagement — Merlot and Cabernet Franc — is well suited to both the soils and the organic approach, with Cabernet Franc in particular responding well to lower-intervention farming.

Why we have selected Château Peyroutas

At Halles Quercamps, we are drawn to properties where the farming, the family, and the terroir tell a coherent story — and Château Peyroutas does exactly that. Three things set it apart for us.

First, the organic commitment is long-standing and verifiable: certified since the 2012 vintage, this is not a recent conversion made for commercial reasons but a sustained choice that has shaped how the vines are grown and how the wine tastes. Second, the Thienpont name provides genuine assurance: nearly a century of Bordelais experience, combined with the influence of the Terra Burdigala network and Stéphane Derenoncourt's involvement, means that quality oversight here is serious. Third, the terroir at Vignonet is genuinely interesting — the combination of clay-limestone and sandy-gravelly soils, south-facing and organically farmed, gives this Bordeaux a precision that belies its modest scale.

We recommend Château Peyroutas to confirmed Bordeaux enthusiasts who want to explore the appellation beyond the classified growths, and to those building a cellar around organic and responsibly farmed wines. At table, it pairs well with roast lamb, duck confit, or a well-aged hard cheese.
