An earth in
Love…
According to our Ancients, they say it « in Love » as it was
sticking to their boots!
A characteristic soil from its history, situated in continuity
of St Emilion and Castillon vineyards, is clay-limestone and
silt-limestone, that express itself in a lovely way through our
wines, with a hint of know-low and fine aromas and flavours
subtleties. Up to you now to judge it…!
The vine
Spread out on 3 villages, it has got a yield of 3500 to 5000
vines per hectare, with specific parcels according to the “Cru”.
The vineyard regional grape variety is shared in a harmonious
way in white and red.
Mainly Merlot (our favourite!) as red grapes, for its fruity and
round style without equal ; the Cabernet Sauvignon for its
texture and complexity with the oak barrel ; to finish with the
Cabernet Franc and Malbec or Côt for the original touch.
The principle white grapes are Sauvignon Blanc, dominant in the
area, for its aromatic characteristics and capacity to limit
oxidation; the Sémillon for its round and sweetish style, with a
drop of Muscadelle for the spices.
Add to this the know low of men life, the family secret of
fabrication and you get…round, fruity, smooth wines for the
pleasure of this dear palate!
Our principles
Respect the nature of the wine :
• First by the vine, using wich respect the environment and its
flora, its soil and characteristic.
• Also by the vinification that is done, for each appellation or
colour, in a traditional way, for the natural and subtle
expression of the primary aromas of the wine ; and the oaky
style to develop complex and elegant aromas with ageing
aptitudes.
Doing everything ourselves ! Everything is done indeed in
the estate, as a team (11 persons), for a clean, organised,
consistent and reactive work. From taking care of the vine, the
vinification, or bottling to commercialising the final product…
with the smile! |
