Why it matters
The producer
Hand harvesting uses small buckets, followed by meticulous sorting before fermentation. Many of the vines are over 40 years old. All wine production takes place on the estate, from vine to bottle. Since 2023, the vineyards have been certified organic. The property includes an eighteenth century château and an orangery used as an event venue.
