Domaine noté Sélectionné (An estate or house that has won us over with one or more wines from its production, without us being able to give a general opinion on the style of the entire range)
About the domain :
Carpe Diem, the famous Latin locution, means "Seize the day without worrying about tomorrow". A motto taken to heart by Albéric Philippon, who took over the estate in 2013. Situated on the clay-limestone terroirs of Cotignac, the estate now covers 30 hectares. Visitors to the region can find the winemaker and his wines every Tuesday at the Cotignac market.
