At the heart of the village of Cérons, in the Graves region, surrounded by high stone walls, the château faces a magnificent 12th-century church. Xavier and Caroline Perromat took over the family property in 2012 with the intention of raising the quality of wines produced. The estate is made up of 30 hectares of vines planted on a gravel plateau with a subsoil of marine fossils and limestone, which dominate the village.

Made from old, low-yielding vines, the quantity of fruit produced here is tiny, but the quality is exceptional. Once picked the grapes were destemmed – no extra tannins were required – gently crushed and cold soaked for two days before being fermented separately. During the 11-day fermentation, the skins were hand-plunged to ensure maximum extraction. Once blended the wine was placed into 225-litre French oak casks, half of which were new, for 17 months.

A few more years of university led to graduation and eventually a job at Robert Mondavi Winery in 1997 as a temporary harvest worker. Deciding that if he was going to work this hard, it would eventually have to be for himself, he founded Orin Swift Cellars in 1998; Orin is his father’s middle name and Swift is his mother’s maiden name.
