Arretxea (Domain)
Le Domaine Arretxea est un domaine viticole familial situé à Irouléguy, au cœur du Pays Basque. Fondé dans les années 1990 par Thérèse et Michel Riouspeyrous, le domaine couvre environ 12 hectares de vignes, cultivées avec un profond respect pour la nature et la tradition. Les vignes sont travaillées en biodynamie, sans l'utilisation de produits chimiques, ce qui reflète leur engagement pour un vin authentique et respectueux de l'environnement.
Le domaine produit principalement des vins rouges à base de Tannat, Cabernet Franc et Cabernet Sauvignon, et des blancs issus des cépages Gros Manseng, Petit Manseng et Petit Courbu. Les vins rouges se distinguent par leur structure tannique robuste et leurs arômes épicés, tandis que les vins blancs offrent des arômes floraux et fruités avec une acidité vive, typique du terroir basque.
D'ailleurs, le logo du domaine, une pierre discoïdale gravée de symboles, représente l'amour, la passion du vigneron et le respect du terroir !
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.
