Château La Commanderie, St Emilion Grand Cru Classe. Owned by a young couple, the Decoster family purchased this Estate a couple of years ago. We are pleased to start with a great vintage, 2019.

Chateau La Commanderie (Saint-Emilion Grand Cru Classe) is located between pretty famous neighbors: Chateaux Cheval Blanc and Figeac on the West side, Chateaux La Dominique, Jean-Faure and Ripeau on the North side, and Chateau Chauvin on the East side. One third of their vineyard is next to the border with Pomerol, on gravelly soils.

The property, despite being a Cru Classe de Saint-Emilion, thanks to its terroir and quality of its wines is a little more “off the beaten path", as it is only 3.7 hectares large, which is more some Pomerol standards in term of size! The vineyards are planted with 80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc, from an average of 35 year old vines. The production is about 18,000 bottles per year.

The Chateau has a long history, dating back all the way to the 13th century, when the chateau was providing wine for the Commanderie of Knights and Monks of St. John of Jerusalem, hence the roots of the name of the property.

The Chateau was acquired in 2017 by Thibaut and Magali Decoster, who also own Clos des Jacobins and Chateau de Candale in Saint-Emilion.

After they arrived, the Decosters made a lot of investments and conducted a complete renovation of the cellars and wine-making facilities.

They also changed how the vineyards were being tended. They began an organic, sustainable farming approach.

Hubert de Bouard (also co-owner of Angelus) became the consultant.
