Full of history, the land has diversity in the soils and a microclimate specific to the region that allows for select and authentic aromas. Therefore, each grape variety is grown in a soil, which corresponds to its particular aroma and flavour. 

BORDEAUX

BordeauxAOP MOULIS EN MEDOC - BORDEAUX

The Moulis appellation is located between Margaux and Saint-Julien, this is a land of quiet charm in the heart of the Haut-Médoc that offers gourmet harmonious, full of generosity and elegant wines. Owned by the Coubris family for six generations, Château La Mouline has 22 hectares of vineyards located on the south slope of two ridges, one composed of clay and limestone, the other based on Pyrenean gravel.

This privileged location gives it a very sunny exposure and frost preserved its plots. 

AOP BORDEAUX SUPERIEUR

AOP Bordeaux SuperieurCHATEAU DES ARRAS is a family business for 3 generations, the winery is run by two sisters involved in both winegrowing and winemaking. In the 50s their grandfather decided to grow vines, a full underground drainage system was put in place to maintain the natural flow of rainwater and stimulate the vines. Moreover, the soil has the required qualities to grow vines with a layer of clay that allows the roots to spread and to draw nutrients.

 Depending on the quality of the soil, you select the vines that are the most likely to use the naturally available resources. The selection depends on a study of the underground. Even though, sometime when the vines get old they will develop different needs. Bringing natural fertiliser is a good option to help the vines.  It is important to respect the natural balance and that they have been doing for a long time by doing sustainable agriculture, today they go further by getting the HVE  (high Environmental Value) certification and turning to organic in 2020.

BURGUNDY

AOP MORGON

AOP MorganProperty of Florence Delorme, Domaine de la roche pilée is located in the commune of Villié-Morgon, it extends on 4.2 hectares and produces a red wine of AOP Morgon. The wines are made with Gamay, the grape variety of the Beaujolais.

The vine grows on sunny hills, in climate Corcelette and Douby. The grounds are peculiar, made of a disintegrated and pyritic schist, called "crushed rock", which gives the wine its character and the domain its patronym. As in the whole Beaujolais appellation, the harvest is hand-made, then sorted carefully to preserve the very best of the harvest. The grape harvest is then vatted in whole grapes, in order to respect the specific vinification of the appellation. In this case, the fermentation, or at least part, occurs at the very heart of the fruits, which are called intracellular fermentation. This enriches the aroma range of the wine and adds extra complexity.

This area is then composed of 24 small parcels of vines. Through extensive grubbing work, then purchases and replantings, the estate now operates 6.5 hectares spread over five large plots.

 In recent years, the estate has also purchased vines in Beaune appellation 1st Cru "Les Avaux", Beaune Lulune "Clos de la Fontaine", Pommard "Clos Beauder" and Saint-Romain "La Combe Bazin".  The Domaine des Meix and the Domaine Le Bout du Monde now farm almost 10 hectares of vines and entrust all the wine work to a company employing disabled workers.
