Having crossed the threshold, as you remove your coat, take care to remove your watch as well. There is no longer any rush. We are now on vineyard time. It is now the vine, along with the climate, which decides. For some time now, we have synchronized our internal clocks with those of the plants. Having learned that fighting, forcing and bending are useless; we have instead dedicated our energy to observing, listening, breathing and maybe even understanding. We invite your senses to come sample this rhythm of nature: the vine and its fragrances, the history of the varietal, a charming cabin in a vineyard setting. Here you can experience the wine, free from rules governing its making or its tasting. Our ancestors were winegrowers, our great-grandfather a barrel maker, our grandfather a wine broker… Indeed, we have approached wine from all angles! And, the essential is the lovely grape that we seek to draw out in every glass. The grape is where it all happens. In the wine storehouse, where each vintage reveals a unique personality, we search tirelessly for the perfect combination that will accentuate the grape, as it is, unique to its particular year.

Le Vin a Boire de Luc Lapeyre 2022
A nuanced grape blend with a wonderful depth of flavor that belies it’s low ABV rate of only 12%. Labelled as Luc’s ‘Wine to Drink’, this is wine made to share and is pure pleasure from beginning to end. Beautifully balanced dark summer fruits with a gentle kick of spice play alongside a fresh yet elegant palate. The finish is satin smooth.

It is vinified like a white or a rosé, first press juice, only two-three days maceration to retain the best of the fruit and the suppleness of the cépage. Best served chilled.
It’s an easy, nonchalant and joyful wine with a sole purpose of making one happy!
