Maison Wessman’s red wines come from some of the finest plots in the long overlooked terroir of Issigeac, located in the heart of the renowned Périgord region. In this terroir and in particular in the high plateau of Issigeac, the history of vine-growing goes back 2000 years. As a result of extensive uprooting in the early 20th century and minimal replanting, the yields here are small, distinguishing the Issigeac terroir from much of the rest of the adjoining appellations.

The combination of the well-drained limestone surface and ample reserves of water in the deep subsoil ensure the ideal balance between the maturity and acidity of the grapes. Thanks to the exceptional exposition of the vineyard in the plateau of Issigeac, the vines benefit from sun all day long.

In 2021, Maison Wessman acquired the Vignoble des Verdots, nationally and regionaly recognized for the high quality of its wines.

Located in Conne-de-Labarde, on a terroir composed of clay, limestone and flint, the Vignoble des Verdots is a modern estate, renowned for the quality of its wines. It has 19 hectares planted with the white varieties Sémillon, Sauvignon Blanc, Sauvignon Gris and Muscadelle, and 26 hectares planted with the red varieties Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Malbec.
