Description

Château Monestier La Tour is located in the Périgord, a French region renowned for its culinary treasures, enchanting landscapes, and rich winemaking history. This book, written by wine expert Chandra Kurt, is a journey to the heart of this timeless region, celebrating the passion for wine and the authenticity of the terroir.

The château, built on the remnants of a 13th-century monastery, has endured through the ages while preserving its charm and its wine heritage. Since its first official mention in 1792, it has seen a succession of prestigious owners before being acquired in 2012 by the Scheufele family, who restored the château to its former elegance.

The book is divided into five captivating chapters:

Périgord, a Land of Abundance
Gastronomy, from Truffles to Foie Gras
The History of Wine in Bergerac
Château Monestier La Tour
The Biodynamic Universe

The photographs by Jacopo Salvi capture the beauty of the estate throughout the seasons, revealing the richness of the vineyards, truffle harvesting, and the daily life of biodynamic gardens and kitchens. These images are accompanied by more than two dozen delectable regional recipes: from Œuf en Meurette and Truffled Foie Gras to Pot-au-Feu, Roast Chicken, and Crème Brûlée.

Through this book, Karl-Friedrich Scheufele shares his love for this unique place, where time seems to flow differently, bringing serenity and the sought-after perfection. This volume is a tribute to the charm and authenticity of the château, intended for lovers of wine, gastronomy, and history.

Chandra Kurt, a renowned author, is an international wine consultant and a member of the Circle of Wine Writers in London. Her expertise and love for the terroir shine through on every page of this work.

Jacopo Salvi, an Italian photographer, brings a unique artistic perspective to the scenes of the château, with a career marked by prestigious collaborations and a passion for wine photography.
