Aurélia et Frédéric Caumont

Our estate is based on a sandy-gravel terroir, a very filtering soil with a nutrient-rich sub-layer and rich biological activity due to the former bed of a Garonne tributary. We have grassed (oats, vetch and trefoil) the white plots to enrich the soil with organic matter and to provide nitrogen for the development of aroma precursors. We don't use herbicides at all, preferring to return to traditional techniques such as shoeing the vines and working the soil. This environmental awareness is guaranteed by our Terra Vitis certification since our installation in 2015 and, since 2020, by our conversion to organic farming. As for the harvest, it's mechanical except for our sweet wines, for which we rediscover the festive atmosphere of the grape harvest by calling on all our friends and family, who are rewarded with a good meal... if they've worked well! Our long-held dream of returning to our family roots and the land came true in 2015 with the purchase of our farm. We left Parisian life with our two children to settle just a stone's throw from where Aurelia's great-uncle had vineyards: we've come full circle! We're determined to develop our business with greater respect for our environment, which is first and foremost the environment in which we live, and to make products that reflect who we are. So we've broken with Bordeaux codes to create labels with a more contemporary aesthetic.
