Notes from the Importer: Antonin Jamois expand the 0.8 hectares of Merlot to 2.5 hectares, by planting Castets, Mancin and Sémillon. He farms the whole property organically and promotes permaculture to preserve soil fertility and promote biodiversity in the vines including the cultivating of ancient cereals and fruit trees. The rest of the property is woodland and a meadow for his horse. A serene and intelligent approach, for wines that finally shake up the codes of Bordeaux!
