Natural wines, the fruit of the earth's work

Grégoire Rousseau has, from the beginning, oriented himself towards a work respectful of nature, of the soil, of the notion of terroir. He has, of course, converted the entire Winery to organic farming. He controls the yields and looks for healthy, beautiful and concentrated grapes. This work is characterized by beautiful maturities.

Silky and elegant organic wines

However, what sets the Winery apart may be its approach to aging in barrels (sometimes new ones). There is a meticulous process, a balance,and a distinctive touch that results in wines that are almost “silky.” Is it the Winery geographical location Winery accounts for the finesse and elegance of these wines, made from grape varieties known for being challenging? In short, it’s meticulous work that strikes a balance between terroir, grape varieties, and aging—not to mention “DRINKABILITY,” which is so important to us!

Grégoire Rousseau has given us the pleasure to elaborate "Between Earth and Earth", an Exclusive Cuvée for Petites Caves. A 100% merlot from 30 year old vines, half of which are aged in jars and half in demi-muids. A marvel!
