Terroir:
The vineyards are located in the Cahors appellation, in the Southwest of France. The vines are planted at an altitude of 300 meters on limestone and clay soils, which contribute to the wine's minerality and freshness.

The vineyards have been chemical-free for many years, reflecting a deep commitment to sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices. The grapes used for this wine are 100% Malbec, locally known as Auxerrois.
Winemaking:The winemaking process involves fermentation and aging in cement tanks, which helps preserve the wine's pure fruit character. This non-interventionist approach allows the natural flavors of the grapes to shine through, resulting in a vibrant and expressive wine.
