At the heart of an AOC among the very first in France to be recognized (1937!) Are Cathy & Jean-Mary. When they decide to make wine, in the early 2000s, they don't know much about it ... but are determined to do it well. Like almost everything they undertake, passion and the sense of effort lead their action. Some numbers ? Today, they work nearly 23 hectares of vineyards in biodynamics, also have 130 hectares of earth which allow them to produce cereals but also to offer a magnificent playground to the horses of the stud farm they have developed. They are also the only ones to cultivate vines on the Soumensac set: soils that are difficult to work, very low risk of jelly ... but unique terroirs. Over the years, they have managed to develop a very complete range of wines, white, rosé and red, thirst wine and gastronomy wine.
What does the name organize mean?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
