White gold in color. An elegant nose with pronounced mineral notes, hints of flint and gunflint, citrus, and saline notes. The attack is clean and precise, the palate crystalline and imbued with great purity; a slender, rich, and complex palate blending mineral and citrus notes. A wine with great length and a lingering iodine finish.

At a time when modern oenology triumphs (a good or a bad thing, you decide), we often tend to forget that a great wine is conceived first and foremost in the vineyard: tilling the soils, controlled yields, bud removal, doubling, manual harvesting and respect for the biotope.

A pioneer in its field, the Écu vineyard has been certified organic since 1975 and biodynamic (Demeter) since 1998 across its entire 30 hectares. We have also been Biodyvin certified since 2014.

We have renounced all technological artifice in the cellar to break with the movement towards standardization of wines and to preserve the link uniting each of our vintages to a terroir and a vintage.

Yeast inoculation, enzyme addition, thermo-vinification, reverse osmosis and other processes tending towards the standardization of wines and the production of soulless mass wines have no place in our cellars.

It's obvious, but we wanted to reiterate it here: we make wines, real wines without frills or excessive embellishments!

As such, we are proud to be part of the "Biodyvin" group of winemakers which advocates this respect for the terroir and this quest for pure wine, without artifice or deception…

The wines from the Écu vineyard are now found on the finest tables around the world. You will find them in many gourmet and bistronomic restaurants run by chefs passionate about local produce and committed to quality ingredients.
