Bio
We're talking to you about his Winery
| Firmly determined to work according to natural principles in viticulture and winemaking, Lidewij Van Wilgen, who runs the lovely Winery 'Terre des Dames' in Murviel-les-Béziers, has worked hard to offer perfectly balanced, distinctive vintages with an excellent price-quality ratio. Established in 2002 not far from the Faugères and St-Chinian appellations, and coming from the world of advertising in the Netherlands, Lidewij had to establish itself as a woman, foreign and revolutionary. The 14 hectares of clay-limestone, flint and oyster fossils are perfectly curled up in terraces, well drained and strongly windy. Even the springs provide natural irrigation. | Only local grape varieties are represented: syrah, grenache, alicante and recently mourvèdre with plants from 25 to 90 years old. The rigorous work - zero insecticide since 2006 (certified organic since then), daily inspection of the vines, no synthetic fertilizers - results in an exceptional quality of grapes. The yield is low, up to 15 hl/ha for the alicante. Each Grape variety is vinified separately to produce wines that are easy to digest, with a strong and fresh character. A bit like Lidewij who enchants us with her personality, her good mood and her fragility. Today, she puts everything on her cuvée "La Diva" with a discreet breeding, a refined and tense wine, with an unbeatable quality-price ratio! |
