The Laurent family has been sharing their passion for wine for decades, through the cuvées of Château L’Escart, produced from their vineyard in Saint-Loubès. Gérard and his team know that greatness in wine depends essentially on the greatness of the grapes. They pay attention and take really good care of the vineyards, in order for the vines to naturally resist parasites with as little treatment as possible. It is clear to them how important it is to respect the soil that does not belong to them. Thus, each harvest preserves the full expression and richness of the terroir. At Chateau L’Escart they like to say: ‘Making great quality wines and respecting the land that we are borrowing from our children’. It is precisely for this reason, and their strong relationship to their terroir, that they decided to convert the vineyards to Biodynamic farming. This philosophy continues in the cellar, where only wild yeast is used in the fermentation.
This chemical-free wine is vinified without added sulfites. It benefits from a gentle fermentation that preserves all its authenticity. Its bright color and black fruit aromas delight the nose. On the palate, it has compacted black fruit, liquorice, and spices. The mouth is in full contrast between power and delicacy.
