Assemblage de deux très rares cépages ancestraux de la région bordelaise, aujourd'hui en voie de disparition : le castet et le mancin des palus.
Le castet : découvert vers 1870 en Gironde, il serait originaire du petit village de Castets en Dorthe, situé à quelques encablures de notre domaine !!
Rapidement, ce cépage connu un bel essor dans le vignoble aquitain avec une solide réputation, puis fut oublié après les ravages du phylloxéra vers 1880 (insecte responsable de la destruction d'une très grande partie du vignoble français).
Le mancin des palus : également un très vieux cépage girondin, pourrait provenir de l’époque médiévale. En 1781, des écrits nous relatent sa belle renommée, dominant alors dans certains grands crus de Graves et du Médoc ! Il a aujourd'hui quasiment disparu.
Élevage : 16 mois en jarre de terre cuite
Pas de collage, SO2 total 30 mg/L environ
Production confidentielle : 0.8 ha

One of the widest selections of the web of authors' wines and craftsmen
What is an author wine?
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.
