Bordeaux is one of the most celebrated and highly-regarded wine regions, with the classification of 1855 solidifying the wines as some of the best in the world. Bordeaux is broken down into 2 main categories - the left and right bank of the Gironde, with many appellations and sub-appellations in those areas. The wines on the left bank are predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon blended with Merlot. The right bank is the opposite. White Bordeaux, found mainly towards the South of the region, is made up of mostly Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Bordeaux ranges from fantastic value, entry level wines all the way to First Growth Grand Crus that are amongst the most sought after wines in the world.

Before settling in Saint-Morillon, Bordeaux, in 2019, Anne Buiatti and her husband Grégoire tended a stunning Syrah vineyard on shale soils, which they managed to acquire before their move. Today, they cultivate 2 hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Bordeaux alongside their 2 hectares of Syrah in Roussillon. Their approach is deeply rooted in minimal intervention and a steadfast commitment to organic and biodynamic principles. Certified by Demeter, they nourish the soils with composts, herbal teas, and silica, fostering biodiversity with grazing ewes, beehives, orchards, and vegetable gardens. All grapes are hand-harvested and vinified back in Bordeaux. Anne’s philosophy is to guide the wines naturally—fermenting with wild yeasts, avoiding fining or filtration, and forgoing sulphur—while maintaining precision and consistency. Allumée undergoes a 60-day maceration in clay amphorae before aging for four months in Austrian oak. Bouffonne and Donna age for 12 months in a mix of French oak and 750L amphorae, with Donna resting an additional three years in bottle before release.

Tasting note: Wonderfully expressive white and red blend, with floral, lychee notes accompanied by a blood orange and cranberry juice crunch. Served chilled, the direct press juice has very few tannins and as such is very easy going. 
Winemaking Detail: Hand harvested in September, wild yeasts, juices blended (direct press) and fermented in clay amphora. Batonnage once a week during the 6 months ageing. The first 'Blouge· in Bordeaux!
