Issu d’une famille vigneronne installée de l’autre côté du Rhône, Bernard Duseigneur prend le gouvernail du domaine en 2002. Après une expérience londonienne à la City, il renoue avec ses racines méditerranéennes en continuant l’œuvre de son père Jean et de son frère Frédéric pour amarrer le navire sur la rive gauche du Rhône, à Châteauneuf-du-Pape !
Contrairement aux idées reçues, le terroir de Châteauneuf-du-Pape n’est pas uniquement composé de gros galets de couleur orange ! On y trouve une grande variété de sols : argiles rouges, cailloux calcaires, sables gréseux d’origine marine ou bien limons plus profonds des bords du Rhône.
Posséder un grand terroir est une chance mais cela n’est pas suffisant pour créer de grands vins. C’est pour cela que Bernard et son équipe cherchent la vitalité des sols en favorisant une flore et une faune qui mobilisent les oligo-éléments et permettent la symbiose de la plante et du terroir. Ce travail, qui signifie le respect de l’élément naturel, a pour objectif de garder l’intégrité organique du terroir et d’en exprimer le potentiel dans chaque millésime. « Saisir l’opportunité que nous donne la nature ; c’est cela pour moi la biodynamie » raconte Bernard.
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.
