CERES, THE NATURE WINE OF HAUT-BAGES LIBERAL

The CERES cuvée, named after the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, comes from a plot entirely managed with agroecology and agroforestry practices. It reflects the philosophy that guides Claire Villars-Lurton and her team in their daily relationship with the land, the vine, and its terroir. Thus, it embodies her long-term commitment to a viticulture that is both audacious and virtuous.

CERES reveals purity and suppleness, in perfect harmony with nature. It is illustrated by the artist and landscaper François Houtin.

CERES is a nature wine with a modern style, perfectly illustrating the property's renewal.

"It has dark cherries, blueberry and orange blossom. The palate is easy going with fleshy tannins, a feisty and throughly enjoyable natural wine. Just add sunny day laughter and barbecue."

"Dark cherries, blue plums and violets with aromas of box tree, dark chocolate and intense black ink and stony minerality. Full-bodied with sturdy compressed tannins and crisp acidity. Yet tensioned."

James Suckling
