Château Perron

Château Perron stands beside the medieval church of Lalande-de-Pomerol, on a property whose château dates to the mid-seventeenth century. The Massonie family has owned it for three generations and managed it as a family estate since 1958; Béatrice, Bertrand and Thibault have represented the château since 2000. With support from the Crouvezier family, the vineyard expanded from 23 to 36 hectares, all within Lalande-de-Pomerol.

The estate has an older story beneath the vines: work on underground vats in 1960 uncovered prehistoric stones, some already polished and others still being prepared. A curator from the Museum of Saintes linked the finds to a Neolithic polishing workshop.
