13 MONTHS in AMPHORAS
In July 2015 we acquired 7 ha of a new vineyard “Château Bel-levue”, the AOC Blaye
Côtes de Bordeaux in the Gallo-Roman village of Plassac.
We matured the wine from this vineyard for 408 days in 140 liter clay “Amphorae” handturned in the south of France. The choice of this breeding is the love of clay pottery
transmitted to us by our mother, the natural origin of the material and the neutrality of the
terracotta which respects the purity of the fruit and the expression of the terroir and finally
an extremely natural breeding without any “violence”.
