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, fine French oak barrels and store our wines in our naturally climatised “chai”. |

Lestevénie Brut
Our highly popular sparking wine which has become a favourite for weddings and other festive occasions.
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.

Champagne by any other name
Labels do not really make clear whether the fizz comes from making the sparkle by the traditional champagne method (like ours is) - gas produced by second fermentation in the bottle or the cheap Prosecco method of injecting carbon dioxide into a tank and filling the bottles under pressure.
BOTTLING Mid April. The new 2019 Blanc Sec and Rosé will be available from beginning of May 2020. Bergerac Rouge 2018 from early June
