Domaines viticoles St. Andrew

"The idea of the estate is to make wines that are close to the terroir, digestible with as little screen as possible between the grape and the glass"! With these few words, Stéphane sums up the whole philosophy of his estate, his work and his wines. At Domaine Léonine, we like to joke when we taste, but we don't joke with the work of the wine, which can be summed up in three words: nature, nature and still nature. Nature wine? Natural wine ? Organic wine ? No, all three at the same time and biodynamic please. For this couple who have been living here for 15 years, one of the keys to the success of organic agriculture is to observe the vine: "See how it reacts, lives and monitors its health. To be preventive rather than curative. "And the result lives up to the message: a round, fresh and true juice! One feels like closing one's eyes when tasting this wine, so close to the earth, to this granite arena soil which makes the nobility of the Albères. Enough poetry and let's get to the facts: we recommend Chuck Barrick in red or Que Pasa in white among the moderately priced wines. As for the great vintages from old vines, they are both fresh and powerful.
