LaSuite aux Conseillans
Red wines
Three red wines, each inspired by a movement of the suite and each with its own tempo.

Structure first.
For us, structure is the first decision: the framework that carries a wine through the years and lets it hold its own at the table. Colour, alcohol and density come after that.
Our red wines are built like the movements of a suite, of equal standing and each with its own tempo. The Gigue is quick and full of fruit, the Sarabande calm and deep, the Allemande measured and long. All three grow on the estate's organic and HVE4-certified vineyards, among woods, meadows and water, and each is given the time it needs. We only sell the Gigue and the Sarabande once they are ready to drink.
Movement & Freshness
Gigue
Our red wines begin with the Gigue. Merlot and Cabernet from clay and gravel, aged with little wood so that the fruit stays clear and the tannins have grip. A wine for the grill and for long evenings at the table.

Depth & Gravity
Sarabande
The Sarabande is inspired by the slow dance of the suite. It brings together the estate's four red grape varieties, each plot first vinified on its own. Then it is given time: 16 to 18 months in barrique and many years in bottle.

Structure & Poise
Allemande
The Allemande is made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grown on the estate's gravel and clay-gravel soils, and only in vintages that can carry it. It matures for more than 20 months in oak, then for a long time in bottle. Of all our wines, it needs the most time to become ready to drink.
