Our wines are made and bottled at our Chateau from our own grapes. We also, if the year is right, make a limited edition wine from a particular area of the vineyard. Our winemaking ensures that our wines retain the characteristics of our amazing “terroir”.we use a long, cool fermentation and natural yeasts whenever we can. Very low sulfite wines like ours mean no headaches!
We use only natural corks, oak barrels and store our wines in our naturally climatised “chai”. |

Lestevénie Brut
Our highly popular dry sparking wine.
We make the wine but it is bottled elsewhere because we do not have bottling facilities for sparkling wine.
It is a very classy bottle fermented Brut made by the traditional method of the sort normally associated with much more expensive sparkling wine. It is matured deep in limestone cellars. A delicious wine that is proving equally popular with wedding parties and those looking for an apero for a romantic evening. A lovely citrus nose and a dry palate.
