Château La Rose Perrière: the oldest vineyard in Lussac-Saint-Émilion, certified organic
Château La Rose Perrière
In the heart of Bordeaux's right bank, fifteen minutes from Saint-Émilion and at the gateway to Lussac, the oldest vineyard of the Lussac-Saint-Émilion appellation, born in the 12th century on a limestone slope cleared by Cistercian monks. The Sylvain family, four generations of coopers and winegrowers, runs it today, with HVE and Organic Agriculture certification.
Four exceptional cuvées, a unique know-how from barrel to bottle, a remarkable clay-limestone terroir. Nine centuries on, the Sylvain family continues to write this story with passion, rigour and a certified environmental commitment.
From the 12th century to today: nine centuries of vines on limestone
The story of Château La Rose Perrière begins in the 12th century, with the founding of the Cistercian Abbey of Faize in Lussac. The monks who settle there clear the surrounding woods and plant the first vines on this limestone slope. The estate thus draws its roots from a historic terroir that still gives the wines their mineral tension and depth today.
The very name "La Perrière" refers to stone, to the quarry, to this limestone bedrock that signs the estate's wines. This link between soil, landscape and wine gives every glass of La Rose Perrière a strong, immediately recognisable identity.
In 2003, Jean-Luc Sylvain fell under the spell of this property and undertook a complete renovation of the vineyard, the cellar and the buildings. His ambition: to raise this rare heritage to the level of excellence it deserves.
The spirit of the estate
A rare wine-growing heritage, raised to the level of excellence it deserves: a historic clay-limestone terroir, complete mastery from barrel to bottle thanks to the Tonnellerie Sylvain, and an environmental commitment certified HVE level 3 and Organic Agriculture.

The Sylvain family: four generations from cask to terroir
Château La Rose Perrière stands out for the singular history of the Sylvain family. Winegrowers, but also coopers for four generations, the Sylvains have a rare mastery of ageing and of the precision of their wines. This culture of wood and wine runs through the whole identity of the estate.
From Pierre Sylvain to Claire and Rémi, each generation has enriched the family project with the same demanding standards. The Tonnellerie Sylvain, founded in Libourne, is an integral part of this story and gives the château complete expertise, from the choice of barrels to bottling.
HVE level 3 since 2018, certified Organic Agriculture since 2023
The environmental commitment of Château La Rose Perrière rests on concrete actions. The estate has been certified HVE level 3 since 2018 and Organic Agriculture since 2023. Across the 14 hectares of the vineyard, this translates into a strict no-herbicide policy, the planting of local hedgerows, green manures sown between the rows, as well as beehives, poultry and sheep to maintain the plots naturally.
This patient work shows in the glass: the wines gain in purity, precision and energy. The terroir of Lussac, shaped over the centuries, can thus express itself with greater accuracy and depth.
A unique know-how: cooper and winegrower, from barrel to bottle
Few properties can claim such mastery of the entire production chain. At Château La Rose Perrière, the barrels used for ageing are made to measure by the Tonnellerie Sylvain. This approach guarantees a rare coherence between the style of the cuvées, the profile of the wood and the expression of the fruit.
Across the estate's 70,000 vines, the harvest is adapted to each plot. A double sorting, in the vineyard then in the cellar, ensures that only grapes reaching optimal ripeness are kept. This level of demand explains the quality and consistency of the cuvées produced by the property.
The château is also part of the Saint-Élites, a circle bringing together eight exceptional gems from the satellites of Saint-Émilion.
