Story
Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey
Sauternes · Bordeaux · France
Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey, a distinguished estate in the Sauternes region of Bordeaux, is celebrated for its unique and biodynamic approach to winemaking. Established and managed by Alain Dejean, the vineyard spans 14 hectares across 58 small parcels, each organically managed and certified by Demeter for biodynamic practices.
“The soils, varying from blue clay to clay-limestone and sand, contribute to the distinctive character of the wines.”
Known for his unconventional methods, Alain Dejean has often clashed with regulatory bodies due to his refusal to use additives required for the Sauternes appellation, leading him to classify his wines as Vin de France since the 2010 vintage. His dedication to minimal intervention and biodynamic principles has earned Domaine Rousset-Peyraguey a reputation for producing wines of remarkable intensity, finesse, and longevity.
