It’s all about letting the true essence of our vineyard shine in every bottle
“Les Essences de Sours” wine collection is a true embodiment of our commitment to organic viticulture and a heartfelt tribute to the terroir. Embracing the journey towards organic conversion, we meticulously nurture each plot to establish a harmonious balance between the rich soils and the thriving vines. Our grapes, basking in the gentle embrace of the oceanic climate, are carefully handpicked from predominantly clay-silt and clay-limestone soils, favored plots facing north and north-east. This attention to detail extends to our winemaking process. Utilizing optical sorting technology, we ensure only the finest grapes are selected. Our winemaking approach is gentle and unhurried, respecting the natural pace of the wine’s evolution. We aim to preserve the distinct aromatic profile of each varietal, allowing the authentic character of our wines to shine through. In ‘Les Essences’, you will find not just a wine, but a pure expression of our dedication to sustainable, thoughtful winemaking.
