Falfas (Castle)
Situé sur l’un des plus beaux coteaux de la rive droite de la Gironde, sur la commune de Bayon, le Château Falfas est « la gloire du Bourgeais » depuis le XIVème siècle.
Le domaine de 20 hectares, dont Véronique est propriétaire récoltante, est planté en Merlot à 55%, Cabernet Sauvignon à 30%, Cabernet Franc à 10% et Malbec à 5%.
Sur le sol essentiellement argilo-calcaire, la vigne s’enracine profondément. Ainsi, dans un climat doux, résultat de la proximité de l’estuaire de la Gironde, la vigne atteint sa pleine maturité dans des conditions idéales.
Depuis 1989, tout le vignoble est cultivé en biodynamie « pour sauvegarder l’environnement en respectant la plante, la nature et... le consommateur ! ». Véronique est la fille de François Bouchet, qui n’est autre qu’un des pères de la biodynamie en France ; elle est d’ailleurs à l’origine de la création du syndicat des vignerons de la biodynamie, Biodyvin.
La terre est entretenue, labourée et cultivée naturellement, dans le respect de la biologie du sol et son environnement. Elaborés à partir de ces raisins robustes et sains, les vins de Falfas sont donc le pur reflet de la typicité du terroir, sans aucun apport extérieur. Une vendange manuelle faite au plus haut degré de maturité des raisins, suivie d’une vinification longue et soignée et un élevage en barriques de chêne français, assurent la qualité et une excellente évolution en bouteilles pendant de nombreuses années.
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.
