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. Blended with press wine then spends 18 months ageing in Amphora. Bottled in clay to continue its ageing process.
 
Tasting:
Belle robe rubis avec des reflets violets. Le nez est sur le fruit avec des notes épicées (poivrées). La bouche est équilibrée, à la fois souple et structurée par des tanins présents mais pas agressifs. Belle longueur, finale élégante sur le fruit avec une pointe d’acidité.
