The vineyards for the Saint-Estèphe of La Peyre are situated in the village of Leyssac in the same zone as that of Montrose and Haut-Marbuzet. There are a total of eight hectares of vines with an average age of 30 years. The soil is predominantly gravel with a mix of clay. The grape mix for the Saint-Estèphe is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
