Old cure (Domaine l ')
Location : Colombier (24)Vineyard: 47 ha in organic farming
Christian was a crazy of the oval ball and a joyful Luron, but it was above all a large winemaker, in love with his terroirs of Monbazillac and Bergerac. He represented the 5th generation at the domain of the old cure! Full of daring (it was necessary at the time!), It was he who decided to release the domain of the local cooperative in 1989 to better value his wines, then he took in the 2000s the turn of organic, in A sector where the risks were enormous. His latest creation? The collection is Sulfit! With a very particular attention on the use of this input often pointed out, or even an essay of Chenin in jar, with a long maceration ... A curious and open -minded winemaker, a figure of these AOCs at the gates of Bordeaux . Today, his wife Nathalie holds the reins of the estate.
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.
