The kernel for Pezat is a vineyard planted literally a pace outside of the Saint Emilion Appellation towards the river from Chteau Teyssier near to Branne. Previously this large vineyard consisted of high trellised vines planted 3 metres apart the norm in Entre-des-Mers where grapes are machine picked.

Planting down the middle of the rows gave the same density as a vineyard in Saint Emilion. Additionally, on the original vines, a sucker-per-vine was allowed to grow. At which stage the original vine was cut off, almost halving the height of the vines down to what one would expect from a hand-picked vineyard in Saint Emilion.

The vines are now pruned on the double guyot system. The secondary shoots are removed and the vines deleafed and bunch-thined. The grapes are handpicked and vinified as the other wines of the Chateau to the standard of a Saint Emilion Grand Cru.
