Producer:
Brother and sister duo, Olivier and Laure Lacoste, who took over their family vineyards just 4 years ago and have converted it to Biodynamic farming. The estate is made up of 9 ha of white Sauvignon blanc, Sémillon, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon.
 
As with many Bordeaux producers, they have slowed down on the oak and started using amphorae in the winery, which provides the wines with more freshness and fruit definition. The labels are designed by a selection of friends, giving them an eclectic inconsistency.
 
Viticulture and Vinification:
Manual harvest.  Natural Fermentation. 4-6 months fine lies in tank.
 
Tasting:
Citrus bomb with lots of salty texture and fresh minerality, hay, well balanced, everything is in place, very well made semillon, dry, doesn't taste like shit chardonnay, fuji apple, ripe lemon, crunchy acid and balanced texture, little bit of nutty hay and honey.
