St Pierre d’Aurillac winery was born in 1920 from the will of winegrowers coming from 10 surrounding villages to define and control the production rules of their white wines from Côtes Supérieures de Bordeaux Saint Macaire. This handful of winegrowers were at the cutting edge of the creation of controlled appellations.
