At the beginning, it was a crazy challenge, a nice impertinence tinged with poetry: to make wine under water, in the bay of Saint-Jean-de-Luz. It all started with the search for grapes with singular qualities, and then collaborations with winegrowers with virtuous values. Protected by the Artha dike, the tanks are immersed at 15 meters. This is where the foaming process begins. The winter storms and the tides create a regular movement. This double patented method brings unique and surprising aromas to the wines. A beautiful gustatory experience that will make you travel!
