The Carteyron family have been making wine at this estate since 1854 and Patrick Carteyron is the 5th generation to take the 40 hectares of vines in hand. The estate is fortunate to sit on soils that are basically composed of deep gravels, glacial deposits, which force the vines to work hard, sticking their roots down deep in search of water and nutrients and in the process delivering more complex flavours in the grapes. Enthusiasm for his subject matter drives Patrick into making a characterful wine that punches above above its weight. An obvious choice for our own label.
