Domaine des Allegrets
voyage d'oenos - Rouge - 2016

Domaine des Allegrets is a family vineyard, since 4 generations. Our vines cover 19 hectares. We also cultivate 9 hectares of plum trees. We produce red, dry white and sweet wines. 6 grape varieties are grown: Malbec, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon, and the authentic Semillon grape variety of the Côtes de Duras appellation.Our soils are composed of clay and limestone on the whites and boulbènes on the reds and mellow ones... Legend has it that our 115-year-old semillons rest on a soil in the same vein as Petrus... Respect for nature and the environment is part of our DNA. This is why we have been running our estate according to the organic farming charter for 10 years now, and have been in conversion for 2 years. We practice polyculture by cultivating vines, but also plums, a vegetable garden, flowers, hives, many species of trees... A whole ecosystem is present on our property... We have many animals and insects that live in symbiosis..: Bees, bumblebees, hedgehogs, roe deer, hens, roosters, donkeys, horses, swallows, buzzards, earthworms, ladybirds... The vineyard is treated like a garden and the harmony between man and nature is essential for us...
