Producer: Jean-Baptiste Duquesne is a Bordeaux Pirate, shaking up the conventions of Bordeaux bureaucracy and challenging the status quo. After his selling his French cuisine recipe sharing website, he wrote the book "Bordeaux: Une Histoire de Cépages" which is a detailed history of 19th Century grape varieties in the Bordeaux.
Obsessed, he turned Château de Cazebonne into the largest library of ancestral grape varieties, such as: Mancin, Castets, Bouchalès, St-Macaire, Jurancon noir, Mérille, Béquignol, Pardotte, Gros Cabernet, Petit Péjac, Sauvignonasse, Penouille…. He has already planted 26 of the recognised historical varieties and aims to have all 57 planted by 2030...
 
Vinification: Cabernet Sauvignon hand-harvested in trays 17/10/21. Alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in vats. Aged in barrels of 1 and 2 wines for 12 months. Bottled in October 2022.
 
Tasting: Joli Cabernet tendu, avec une jolie matière. Un vin à faire re-aimer le Bordeaux. Ah mince, c’est un Vin de France !
