Sourced from lower part of Les Chapaudaises in the commune of Bizay, facing northeast, mostly clay/sand/loam-based with limestone bedrock.
Notes from Becky Wasserman & Co.:
"We met fellow ex-pat and wine geek, Brendan Stater-West, where magic happens – in Romain Guiberteau’s cellar in Saint-Just-sur-Dive. Since 2011, Brendan has been working behind the scenes as Romain’s right-hand-man. And in 2015, he completed the first harvest of wine to be bottled under his own label, from the wonderfully unique site of Les Chapaudaises!
