Winemaking Philosophy
Organic Farming: Certified organic, with natural grass cover and minimal soil disturbance to promote biodiversity. Laurent uses local chicken manure to enrich the soil.
Natural Vinification: No sulfites, no additives, indigenous yeasts, and short macerations (4–10 days) to preserve fruit and freshness.
Terroir: The high-altitude vines benefit from cool nights, slowing grape ripening and enhancing freshness and aroma finesse. The granitic sandstone soils add minerality and structure
2023:
Grapes: Syrah and Chatus (50/50 blend).
Profile: Rich in black fruit, gourmand, crunchy, and fresh. It’s described as a “pleasure” wine, perfect for casual summer meals.
Vinification: No sulfites, minimal intervention, crafted by Laurent Fell in a natural style.
Food Pairing: Ideal for laid-back meals “à la bonne franquette” (casual, friendly dining).
