The story behind our wine

Born in the magnificent Bordeaux region to an architect father and a nurse mother, the 3 sisters and Marie were lucky enough to grow up opposite a famous Chateau of Pessac Leognan.

From there, Marie's curiosity grew to discover what was going on behind the doors of this winery and what was the magic recipe for transforming these grapes into such a fine and elegant wine.
