Château Larose Perganson lies in Saint-Laurent-Médoc, on the border of Pauillac and Saint-Julien, next to the vineyards of Château Latour. The property dates back to 1719. Up until the 1830s, the wines fetched prices that would have seen it be classified as a ‘Cru Classé’ in 1855 if the vineyards and the quality hadn’t fallen into disrepair by that stage. After years of neglect, the property was purchased in 1986 by the same company that owns Château Larose Trintaudon, and has since been nursed back to health. A key part of this came in 1999 when they were certified by the sustainable development programme ‘Vignoble Responsable’. In 2010, they were the first European vineyard to be rated ‘exemplary’ in sustainable development.
