LE VIGNOBLE DE LA PÈIRA
LE PARCELLAIRE ET LES CÉPAGES
To mark the 10th vintage of the current team at La Pèira we commissioned British designer, Simon Mercer, to create a limited edition print mapping the various / (with the cepages planted) where the wines are grown. La Pèira is grown on the Bois de Pauliau, Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre from Belle Fiolle (Bellefeuille) comprise Las Flors, the estate’s second wine, Carignan and Cinsault from Belle Fiolle and Les Pointes make up the Obriers cuvee.
The Vineyards of La Pèira – The Land and Cepages
By Simon Mercer
The limited edition print of 500 is printed on French fine art paper, with each print stamped and numbered.
This is not the first time we’ve done this. Abigail Daker’s print Le Grand Cru du Sud de la France / Southern France’s First Growth issued at the beginning of 2015 can be seen here.
After some time, we’re delight to announce the launch of our Especiariá de La Pèira (our online store purely for the sale of unavailable vintages & large format bottlings as well as en premier offers). Especiariá – an Occitan word – finds its match in French with the word: épicerie.
For some time we’ve had a small store in French only, supplied from our home in Southern France, for delivery in France only. It is here. That’s where this first came about.
Now for the first time we’ve extended this into English, and with a wider delivery range.
Current vintages of the wines of La Pèira cannot be acquired there (see here for stockists)
Abigail Daker Limited Edition Print
Excited to be able to offer a few old hidden treasures from the cellars at La Pèira, we commissioned the British fine artist, Abigail Daker, to create a limited edition print to mark the opening of our Especiariá.
Abgail took a view of the Lieu-dit that produces the La Pèira cuvée (the Bois de Pauliau) and combined it with some kind words of Andrew McMurray (Vice President of Zachys Wine Merchants) on La Pèira, creating a striking Limited Edition print.
Inspired in part by the vintage iconic Southern France advertising prints – those of Pernod and Railway & Travel graphic works spring to mind – the print is released in an edition of 400.
