ARRIVING LATE AUGUST

Sourced from lower part of Les Chapaudaises (in the commune of Bizay, northeast-facing, mostly sandy-clay-loam over limestone) or from Les Albaudaises (2024) on the southwestern slope on the hillside of Brézé, west-facing, 90 cm deep sandy-silt topsoil, Turonian 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!
