Le Clos Rocailleux has been certified Organic since 2021. In addition to this label, the work in the vineyard aims to encourage a virtuous ecosystem. The soil is enriched by plant cover, natural meadows separate the different plots and the hedges are of course preserved. A planting project is currently underway to develop this environment and improve growing conditions. A good wine is prepared first and foremost in the vineyard!
That's why the grapes are harvested by hand: selecting the grapes directly from the vines avoids complicated vinification. It's this whole process that allows us to make wines without adding any inputs: fermentation starts spontaneously and intervention is reduced to a strict minimum.
The Clos Rocailleux wines reflect all the authenticity of the autochthonous grapes varieties* and soils of the Cordais plateau.
When Luc and Lucinda met, it was love at first sight in the snow and braucol.
They met in the vineyards during the pruning season. They shared a desire to change their lives, to have their feet firmly on the ground and their heads in the air. And by a happy coincidence, the adjoining estate was about to be put up for sale. Without missing a beat, they went to visit this English couple who had been living there for 8 years: 7 hectares of vines, 6 different grape varieties, a winery and a house. The project was waiting for them.
*The estate's grape varieties: Loin de l'oeil, Mauzac and Muscadelle used for the white wines; Braucol, Duras and Syrah for the red wines.
