Terroir

Château Saint-Louis La Perdrix is located in the commune of Bellegarde, in the heart of the Camargue, between Nîmes and Arles. It boasts 50 hectares of vines on a single piece of land and 7 hectares of olive trees. Its soil, made up of smooth pebbles, is conducive to a maturation of the grapes on a par with the finest wines in the Rhône Valley.

 

Winemaking

Harvested in the cool of the night, the grapes are immediately pressed to obtain a light colour. Fermentation takes place at low temperature (15-18°C) to draw out a maximum of fruit and freshness.

 

 

The reputation of Château Saint-Louis la Perdrix dates back to the 13th century. During the Capetian era, King Saint-Louis of France used to regularly visit the estate to hunt partridges.
