Château Le Sartre
シャトー・ル・サルトル
A historic Pessac-Léognan estate revived by the Perrin family and now elevated under Bernard Magrez.
Château Le Sartre is a historic 25-hectare estate located southwest of Léognan in the Pessac-Léognan appellation, near Château de Fieuzal. The estate's origins date to the 14th century and its wines were praised as 'remarkable' in the 1922 Féret guide. Revived in 1981 by Anthony Perrin of the Carbonnieux family, it was subsequently acquired by Bernard Magrez in 2017 and is now managed under Château Pape-Clément. The estate produces both red wines (Merlot 50%, Cabernet Sauvignon 45%, Cabernet Franc 5%) and white wines (Sauvignon Blanc 80%, Sémillon 20%) that reflect the classic Pessac-Léognan character.
