Vertical Tasting of Pessac-Léognan Château Le Sartre Reds + 1 white - in Paris!!

Discover a vertical tasting of a Pessac Léognan (Bordeaux  Graves), featuring the amazing complexity of Château Le Sartre wines.   Château Le Sartre was a well-known winery in the 19th century, and was rediscovered in the late seventies by the Perrin family, owners of Château Carbonnieux. Since 2005 the 36 hectares (90 acres) estate with first-rate terroir has been dutifully and attentively managed by the late Antony Perrin’s sister Marie-José Leriche and her husband, René Leriche.
