Alain Bessette and his wife at Chateau La Verriere

Featured Producer


Chateau La Verriere is owned and run by winemaker Alain Bessette who is the fourth generation of his family to make wine at Chateau La Verriere. He is a talented man and his name is always on the short list for the ‘Talents de Bordeaux Superieur’ every year. The estate now convers 75 hectares and farms with a sustainable approach. It is located in Landerrouat in the far east of Entre-Deux-Mers, near the Dordogne region.

The Chateau’s star wine, like most in Bordeaux, is the red blend which is usually 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon. It is always a wine that strikes the perfect balance between classic Bordeaux and a modern, lush style. It ages really well if you can keep your hands off it? The white (100% Sauvignon Blanc) is a unique and fresh expression of the grape whilst the Rose is everything you’d want from a summer rose. Alan also makes Rival Bellevue for us along with a cracking honey from his own bees!
