Born into a family of Saint Emilion winegrowers and merchants since 1875, Jean-Pierre Rivière acquired Château Haut-Piquat in 1972. The Lussac Saint-Emilion appellation is one of the satellites of Saint Émilion. Its terroir is characterised by the diversity of its soils spread over plateaux, hills and valleys. The soils are mainly clay and limestone. From the elegant building of Château Haut-Piquat, you can see the hillsides covered with vines and woods. You can see the Picampau Mound where there is an astonishing druidic megalith. A landscape of Epinal, almost in one piece, the vineyard which extends over 33 ha in the heart of the appellation on one of its highest points.
More precisely, we can find an alley crossing the vineyard slope to arrive directly at the Château (2.5 ha).
