Irouléguy red has a subtle and refined nose with aromas of crisp black fruits and sweet spicy notes. The attack is precise and generous, revealing a silky and velvety texture. A delicate freshness accompanies the tasting and the finish lingers elegantly. A fine representative of its appellation!

About the estate:
The Reca family combines dairy sheep farming and wine growing across two farms: Larraldea, in Saint-Just-Ibarre, and Bordaxuria, in Ispoure. On the vineyard side, they have 7.5 hectares of terraced land (currently converting to organic farming) planted on the steep slopes of Arradoy. The two farms have been run since 2012 by the Reca sisters: Oihana, Intza, and Elorri. The latter, who works in the vineyard with her partner Brice Robelet, ended her collaboration with the Saint-Étienne-de-Baïgorry winery in 2014 to produce her own wines.

About wine:
Irouléguy brings a fragrant, more supple and fluid contribution to the cellar's range of intense reds.
About the estate:
After leaving the cooperative in 2014, Elorri Reca and Brice Robelet now passionately run this small estate located in a former quarry. The vineyard, certified organic in 2018, stretches over 350 meters of elevation, 80% of which is terraced. These young winemakers carry out a great deal of manual work to get the best out of these very well-drained red sandstone terroirs. Brice also looks after a plot in the north of the Rhône Valley, whose grapes are transported across France and vinified in Irouléguy.
