I joined in 2009 the family business as the fifth generation of the ARNAUD family and I am proud to carry on the reputation and traditional savoir-faire. We have always whished to favour the terroir’s expression and the quality of our wines. That is why I have been running my vineyard according to organic agriculture since 2021.
The cuvée Noir de Vigne is made out my oldest vines of cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc, and it browses a 100% cabernet blend, grown on the right bank of Bordeaux territory, mostly planted in merlot.
