Villa Pereire wines are Brilliant in Nature

When things are brilliant in nature, they are composed of inherent qualities that give them brilliance in their character and personality.

In addition to creating wines that are clean and fresh in style from some of the most desirable regions in France, Villa Pereire embodies brilliance in nature by devoting resources to maintain the natural beauty of our planet.

Villa Pereire is endearingly referred to as “L’Éclat”, or “brilliance” in French.  These wines are inspired by a special place – Pereire Beach in Arcachon Bay, 30 minutes outside of Bordeaux.

Our Wines

Wines of exceptional quality and old-world charm from Bordeaux and the Rhône Valley.

Villa Pereire Bordeaux-Blanc no vintage beauty shot

Bordeaux Blanc

2021 Bordeaux Blanc, AOC

Barrel Aged

Our Bordeaux Blanc is from the rocky, well-drained soils of Bordeaux, France. It has brilliant mineral and citrus notes with supple, toasty oak complexity. An extremely food-friendly wine, yet this versatile quaff is also enjoyable on its own.

Pair with fresh seafood, creamy white sauces and herbed grilled vegetables.

Bordeaux sits at almost 45 degrees north of the equator with 2050 hours of sunshine – this can be thought of as the dividing line between warm and cooler climates.

Bordeaux

2020 Bordeaux, AOC

Our Bordeaux is from the low-lying gravely hills of the Garonne riverbanks in France. It is here where sandy-pebbly, well-drained soils stress the vines creating small, concentrated berries which add intensity to the flavors. This magnificent, full-bodied Bordeaux offers savory notes of graphite, black currant, black cherry and tobacco supported by firm and balanced tannins. The finish is long and velvety.

Côtes du Rhône

Côtes du Rhône 2021, AOC

Our Red Blend is from the Côtes du Rhône region of southern of France and is a lovely, medium-bodied wine that includes Grenache and Syrah. These varieties harmoniously meld together with notes of raspberry, lavender, fig, blackberry, dried herbs and cured meat on the nose and tongue. The finish is soft and supple.

The Rhône Valley was created during the last ice age as the Rhône Glacier carved its way south through what is now France. Today, the Rhône River begins in the Alps and meanders for 505 miles to the Mediterranean Sea.
