NO ADDED SULFITES RED!

-- Back in January, in the French town of Narbonne, we met (my dear friend and assistant Claudia, our partner Paul Chartrand and myself) with Didier Cabannes, a local winemaker. This simple presentation around a table and a few glasses ended up lasting 2 hours such was the interest this man and his wines generated! First, let me tell you that Didier does not go around unnoticed! Massive, solidly planted, with powerful hands, a good smile and a strong regional accent, you’re bound to remember the encounter!
To begin with, Didier is a healer, and not one sanctioned by a diploma but one who has so much energy in his hands that he HAS to offer it to the people he is drawn to! This side of his personality alone was worth the meeting but then he went on to explain how he brought to his vineyard his exceptional perception of energy in living things. How he takes every conceivable step from the ground up to end up with wines that have a rare flavor of authenticity!
This was a fascinating discussion . . .

To be able to offer non-added sulfites wines of this quality is a proof that Alexis is on the way to be a master of his craft!

-- Campagne St. Georges has had Father-Son winemakers for more than 5 generations. Since 1987, the vineyards have been cultivated organically, in accordance with the standards adopted by the EEC.The farming methods are meant to be the reflection of true nature. The vines grow along the rocky hillsides, where the fauna and flora develop with exuberance, where every living thing finds a little piece of land in which to thrive. It is in this Languedoc countryside that Lucien Bourguet created his warm, hearty wines. Following in his father’s footsteps, André Bourguet carries the family torch of respect for the tradition of wine making without chemical processing nor added sulfites.Cartagène, a traditional aperitif of the Languedoc, was formerly created by winemakers for their personal consumption. The grapes are harvested at high maturity (14 to 15.5 Brix) to get the maximum amount of sugar. They are then laid to macerate in oak barrels for a full year, with the winery’s own 'eau de vie'.
