Château La Vaisinerie is a historic wine estate located in Puisseguin, a satellite appellation of Saint-Émilion in Bordeaux, with origins dating back to the late 17th century. Originally a dependency of Château de Puisseguin, the estate’s manor was constructed around 1685, with the vinification cellar completed in 1718. Covering approximately 25 hectares—of which around 12 to 13 hectares are under vine—the estate is planted primarily with Merlot (approximately 90%) and complemented by Cabernet Franc (10%). The vineyard, with an average vine age of 35 years, is situated on clay-limestone and clay-loam soils, and is managed using sustainable agricultural practices, holding a "Haute Valeur Environnementale" (HVE) certification since 2019. Acquired by Alain Moses in 2019, following its restoration by the Bessede family in 2004, Château La Vaisinerie emphasizes biodiversity and minimal intervention. Vinification includes fermentation in concrete vats and ageing for 12 to 14 months in French oak barrels (a mix of new and used).Read less
