Located on the Cérons plateau, in the historic heart of the Graves region, Domaine du Salut has been run by Aurélia and Frédéric since 2015. The vineyard rests on sandy-gravelly soils, very well-drained, resulting from an ancient tributary bed of the Garonne, with a subsoil rich in nutrients and naturally high biological activity.

From the moment they settled in, the couple implemented a structured environmental approach. The white grape plots are planted with cover crops (oats, vetch, clover) to enrich the soil with organic matter and promote natural nitrogen, contributing to the aromatic development of the grapes. No herbicides are used: soil cultivation relies on traditional mechanical practices adapted to the specific characteristics of each plot. The estate was certified Terra Vitis in 2015 and converted to organic farming in 2020.

The harvest is primarily mechanical, with the exception of the sweet wines, which are harvested by hand to respect the grape selection. The viticultural choices aim for optimal ripeness and a direct expression of the fruit, without seeking excessive concentration. Vineyard management is based on a logic of coherence between agricultural practices, the living environment, and the desired wine style.

In the cellar, winemaking is designed to preserve the wines' clarity and drinkability. Extractions are kept to a minimum, and aging is discreet, in order to maintain approachable and balanced profiles. The wines prioritize aromatic purity, a supple structure, and a clean finish, in a deliberately simple and digestible style.

Domaine du Salut thus embodies a contemporary interpretation of Graves, breaking with certain traditional Bordeaux conventions. The wines offer a direct expression of the Cérons terroir, geared towards immediate enjoyment and sharing, while relying on serious and consistent viticultural choices. A discreet yet unique estate, it embraces a relaxed approach to wine without compromising on quality or respect for the environment.
