Château La Peyre is a family-run estate in the heart of the Haut-Médoc, known for crafting soulful, terroir-driven wines with a light touch in the cellar. Par Nature is their organically farmed cuvée, made without added sulfites, allowing the pure expression of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot to shine. The 2022 vintage, shaped by a warm growing season, offers a ripe yet balanced Bordeaux with both structure and drinkability.

Blackcurrant, plum, and red berries form the core, while hints of crushed violets, cedar, and graphite add layers of complexity. The tannins are polished yet present, giving the wine a firm backbone, while bright acidity keeps it lifted. Unlike more extracted, oak-heavy Médoc wines, Par Nature leans into freshness, making it an inviting, food-friendly Bordeaux that doesn’t demand years of aging to be enjoyable.

A great match for roast chicken, grilled lamb, or a simple cheese and charcuterie board, this is Bordeaux with a natural edge—vibrant, honest, and easy to love. Drink now for its youthful energy or let it evolve over the next 5–7 years.

La Peyre is a great example of classic St. Estèphe earthiness and power with elegance. In the glass it is delicious and quintessential St. Estèphe. And yet, it's not like any other St. Estèphes. It's not made by a giant château. in fact, La Peyre is the only St. Estèphe to be awarded the "Cru Artisan" designation.

You don't need a French diploma to understand what the designation means. They're artisans. According to the rules, they can work no more than five hectares of vines. That's small even in Burgundy and it's incredibly rare in Bordeaux. But it means the grower can give the vines the kind of individual attention that helps them fulfill their terroir's potential.

What "Artisan" definitely does not mean is poor terroir. In fact, La Peyre's vines grow near the greatest names in the village (including Montrose), on classic gravels with clay. And it doesn't mean poor practices in the winery—cut corners or rushed production. La Peyre works traditionally, hand harvesting, fermenting slowly, and aging mostly in old wood to make sure new oak flavors don't overwhelm the wine. The family clearly takes pride in what they do.

Tiny production, incredible attention to detail, absolutely top terroir. In many regions (Burgundy, we're looking at you!), this would be a recipe for sky-high prices. And yet this wine is decidedly a bargain. The price discrepancy between La Peyre and Montrose is astounding. That's because, when it comes to prices, Bordeaux follows Champagne's strange market logic: the bigger the producer, the more costly the wines.

We're not saying this wine can stand in for Montrose. Some of the price difference, for sure, has to do with the additional bells and whistles that money can buy. But a lot of it is simply fame and marketing. Small producers just don't make enough wine to win the international reputation, or to budget for the marketing that earns mamoth customer demand.
