The Commanderie de Peyrassol, a winery founded in 1256 by the Knight's Templar, has been producing wine continuously. Francois Rigord brought the winery to fame in the 1970s and 1980s, expanding the varietals grown. In 2001, Philippe Austruy took over, modernizing the facilities while maintaining the winery's historical roots. Today, Peyrassol practices organic farming, restricts yields, and upholds the values of hospitality and generosity, creating renowned wines enjoyed worldwide.

The Commandeur, the flagship wine of the Commanderie, is a stunning blend of 70% Syrah and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon that showcases the exceptional terroir and essence of the estate's younger vines. The 2020 vintage, characterized by well-balanced acidity and an earlier harvest, has resulted in a wine that bursts with Syrah aromas of redcurrant, blueberry, and spices, while the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes a balancing freshness. On the palate, this wine is crunchy with bright acidity, accompanied by notes of red fruits and licorice. The elegant finish reveals the roundness of gourmet cherries, and the almost minty freshness makes it a perfect companion throughout a meal. Crafted using highly sustainable agricultural practices and aged in stainless steel vats to preserve its fresh aromas, the Commandeur is a delightful expression of the estate's commitment to quality and enjoyment.
