Château Vieux Taillefer Description
Philippe Cohen, originally from Paris, lived in Saint‐Emilion for 10 years working as a négociant. His wife, Catherine, studied oenology and in her second year of the DNO (Diplôme National d’Oenologie) had an opportunity to intern under the legendary Jean‐Claude Berrouet, head winemaker at the famous Château Petrus. Jean‐Claude recognized the talent in his new intern and installed Catherine at the famous La Fleur Petrus where she made the wines from 1995 to 2001. Following the 2001 vintage, Catherine worked as a consultant for many Châteaux in Bordeaux, but she and Philippe dreamed of having their own vineyards. In addition to their red wine, they also produce a white from 75-year-old vines. It is a blend of Sauvignon Blanc, with some Semillon, Sauvignon Gris, Merlot Blanc, and Chasselas. More than 200 years ago, the majority of the production in Saint‐Emilion was in fact white, and this wine pays homage to that history.
