Stephan Neipperg, who comes from a family of counts who produce wine in Baden-Wurttemberg, has established himself as one of the leading wine producers in Bordeaux since he started at the St-Emilion Chateau Canon-La-Gaffeliere in the mid-1980s. In addition to the cult wine La Mondotte, his small empire also includes the magnificent Chateau Peyreau not far from the old town of the medieval town of St-Emilion. Committed to nobility and quality, this pure, fruity, elegant classic is made from hand-harvested, low yields (mainly Merlot grapes).
