An 8-hectare estate farmed organically, owned by the same family since 1935 and spanning four generations, regularly honored for its Palais d'Or sweet wine in Côtes-de-Bordeaux-Saint-Macaire and for its red Bordeaux wines. After ten years as a pharmacy technician, Thierry Bos took over the family estate in 1990.

About the estate:
Thierry Bos, originally from Gironde-sur-Dropt, is a determined and passionate winemaker! For more than ten years, he has been committed to reviving "forgotten" grape varieties such as Carménère, Malbec, and to a lesser extent, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. The different vintages express wine styles with strong personalities. Always measured, with just the right levels of maturity and delicate extractions, we appreciate the atypical character of these wines. This is a winery that truly deserves our attention.
