Château Peyrolan is situated north of Bordeaux on the east bank of the Gironde with vineyards overlooking the estuary in the town of Saint-Ciers-de-Canesse. It was formed when François de Pardieu bought 12 hectares of vines in 1975, which his son Benoit has now extended to 33 hectares. The vines are on clay and limestone over red gravel and produce soft and fruity wines using modern techniques.
