HOW WE WORK

  • Pleasure: daily at work and in our wines too
  • Respect the terroir and its tipicality: we work the soil with our heads and we aim to limit impact and inputs in the vineyard and in the cellar
  • Respect the grapes: the keystone is the ripeness in order to elaborate high-quality wines: let the fruit speak for itself.
  • Respect living beings and the environment: set up best practices to limit our impact on Nature and living beings (natural grass growing, green manure, recycling, rain water recovery…)

What we actually do!

  • Since 2008: no use of any chemicals, mechanical working only
  • Since 2021: organic farming certified

OUR WINES

A bit of history:

  • According to the legend, in 1080, clerks of Monbazillac forgot to harvest a plot of vines. Then they noticed a rot had spread all around the grapes.
  • In 1936 only, the Monbazillac Protected Denomination of Origin is created, one of the five first in France and the first for sweet wines.
  • Monbazillac PDO is delimited by 5 villages : Monbazillac, Colombier, Pomport, Rouffignac-de-Sigoulès and Saint-Laurent-des-Vignes.

Noble rot?

  • The fungus that spreads on the surface of the grape berries is commonly named: Botrytis Cinerea or noble rot. The fungus to grow in the vineyard requires specific weather conditions: morning fogs from  the proximity of the Dordogne river and sunny afternoons.
  • Once the rot has pierced the skin of the berry, the water contained in the juice evaporates and sugar concentrates.
  • Grape berries will be  carefully and manually harvested, in several goes, in order to respect the sugar concentration levels.
  • Botrytised berries give specific aromas (honey, acacia, candied fruits, quince…) to the wines that come out of it.
