About the estate:
Bergerac, in the far southeast of the appellation: from his organically farmed plots on the limestone plateau and the deep-clay hillsides, Julien Auroux looks to the future with confidence. His wines have turned their backs on Bergerac’s past, which sought to imitate Bordeaux reds while neglecting the soil. He, on the contrary, is committed to wines characterized by minerality, a clear and precise aromatic expression, made with native yeasts, and with almost no added sulfur. He is reviving grape varieties from the past for a return to the future. The lineup draws on the acidity of the soils to create an approachable profile and takes a step up this year.
