DOMAINE SARRABELLE
Read moreLaurent and Fabien Causse are the sixth generation of winemakers on the estate. They wished to give the name of the spring to their top-of-the-range wines, such as the Saint-André cuvée (a red AOC, 12 months in barrel) and the mauzac (a white, which remains in oak barrels for 6 months), but also to their traditional and local wines, including a rosé. A permanent research work, in reasoned agriculture, led to the elaboration of a sweet wine (limited series) served on the big tables of the region, between tradition, innovation and quality.
