It is an exceptional site nestled at an altitude of almost 150m in the communes of Sigoulès and Thénac, south of Bergerac. The richness of the soils - limestone, flint, clay, boulbène - combined with the diversity of the grape varieties planted, allow the production of rich and complex wines.
The estate produces AOC Bergerac and AOC Bergerac white.
Close to the Atlantic Ocean, the Dordogne valley has a temperate oceanic climate. Winters are mild and rainy while summers are cool and relatively humid. The mildness of these temperatures favors an early start of the vine.
The sunny late seasons allow a good maturation or over-ripening of the grapes.
I was contacted by Fabien Castaing on LinkedIn asking me if I was interested in his wines to expand my range, followed by a series of exchanges by message and phone, and we agreed to work together, he is ready to follow me in all my projects and he is very cooperative during difficult exchanges with customers. We talk often and he gives me a lot of ideas, it's a great collaboration. Even though it is a rather large estate in total size, he likes work well done and remains faithful to the respect of the vine and the soil. He is a precursor of the organic work and of the HVE3 certification, his estate is among the first to have obtained the certification in 2013.
