Clos les Lunelles
In the Libournais, on the hill of Sainte‑Colombe, Clos les Lunelles is a compact, exacting corner of Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux—part of Vignobles Perse since 2001. Roughly nine hectares sit on a clay‑limestone plateau where Merlot, supported by Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, gains both volume and edge.Here the ground writes the script: limestone brings cool definition, clay holds water reserves and stretches the season in dry years. Picking is plot‑by‑plot, sorting is severe, and temperature‑controlled vinification aims for extraction without harshness; oak ageing is used as a frame, not a disguise.
The estate captures the quiet nobility of Bordeaux’s satellites—dense at the core, yet clearly drawn, with a sustained tannin line. For drinkers looking beyond the headline châteaux, Clos les Lunelles offers terroir, craft and modern precision.
