"Located in Flassans-sur-Issole, between Le Luc en Provence and Brignoles, Peyrassol is a former Templar commandery founded in the 13th century.
  
After the disappearance of the Templars during the famous trial sponsored by Philippe le Bel, it was the Hospitallers of Saint John who were entrusted with the domain.
  
It was then necessary to wait until 1789 and the confiscation of Church property by the State for the property to change hands.
  
The Ricard family purchased the land during the sale of national property in 1790.
  
The Ricard family ceded the estate to the Rigord family in 1830. From generation to generation, the Rigord family passed the estate on until 1967. It was then that Doctor Rigord and his wife Françoise inherited it. The time for rosé has not yet come, but Françoise Rigord, “the lady of Peyrassol”, has contributed with talent to establishing the reputation of the very young Côtes-de-Provence appellation.
  
However, the estate needs heavy investments, both in the Château Peyrassol vineyard and the buildings, to remain up to its qualitative ambitions. Françoise Rigord decided to sell it in 2001 to a wine lover, in love with perfection and respectful of the memories that inhabit these places steeped in history, Philippe Austruy.
  
A new era then begins for the Commanderie de Peyrassol and the Château Peyrassol vineyard, led by the new owner who is falling in love with its landscapes and its history.
  
The wine estate extends over nearly 950 hectares, including 100 hectares dedicated to vine cultivation and 350 hectares of parkland reserved for hunting. It is one of the most important areas of the region.
  
Manual harvest, plot selection of 20-year-old vines.
  
Aging for 8 months on fine lees in oak barrels.
  
This white releases floral, spicy and honey notes.
  
The mouth is very soft with the same notes as its nose. The attack is biting thanks to a marked acidity which can give this wine great aging potential.
  
The finish is long and generous."
