About the Work

The Scheufele family spent over 25 years searching for a unique château in France where they could indulge their passion for wine. They were smitten by Château Monestier La Tour, a historic thirteenth-century monastery standing atop a hill overlooking Monestier, a picturesque village in Bergerac. In this volume, readers are taken on a journey through the rich history of the château’s viticulture, first recorded in 1792, and its remarkable restoration by the Scheufele family.

The book, titled Timeless Périgord, is authored by Swiss wine expert Chandra Kurt and is divided into five chapters - “The Périgord, a Land of Plenty,” “Gastronomy, from Truffles to Foie Gras,” “The History of Wine in Bergerac,” “Château Monestier La Tour,” and “The Biodynamic Universe.” With photographs by Jacopo Salvi, the book highlights the beauty of the château throughout the year, including its vineyards, biodynamic gardens, and kitchen.

In addition to its history, Timeless Périgord features over two dozen delicious recipes made with regional ingredients, including Eggs in Red Wine Sauce, Truffled Foie Gras Terrine, Pot-au-Feu, Rotisserie Chicken with Sautéed Vegetables, Crème Brûlée, and Pear Tart Bourdaloue. Karl-Friedrich Scheufele says, “We love the tranquility in this place, and when we are here time shows a different dimension. Everything takes a little longer and everything takes the time needed to achieve the qualitative perfection that we strive for.”

Chandra Kurt is an internationally acclaimed wine consultant and member of the Circle of Wine Writers in London, the Ordre des Coteaux de Champagne, and the Confrérie du Guillon. The Scheufele family's Château Monestier La Tour has been featured in Wine Tales, the yearly guide from Weinseller, and the wine magazine Weinseller Journal, launched in 2015.
