Vieux Château Saint André
Above Libourne, in Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion within the Libournais, Vieux Château Saint André has carried a distinctive lineage since 1979: the Berrouet family, shaped by Jean‑Claude, long‑time cellar master of Pétrus and a benchmark for Right Bank precision.
The appellation’s limestone ridges, threaded with clay, give both tension and water reserve. Merlot leads the blend, supported by Cabernet Franc—an ideal frame for a style that prizes freshness, clarity and proportion over sheer mass. In the vineyards, sustainable work and careful hand harvesting aim to keep each plot’s identity intact.
In the cellar, control is quiet: gentle extraction, strict selection, and ageing in oak with measured new wood. The result is Montagne‑Saint‑Émilion with a finely drawn profile—textural, composed, and defined by that calm, stony backbone the terroir naturally provides.Vieux Château Saint André
