"An intense wine to accompany everyday dishes and pleasures".

"The grapes are picked at the peak of ripeness, de-stemmed and crushed before composing Tradition 2021, a mess of red fruit on the cool tannins of the vintage". (Le Guide RVF 2024)

Guide Hachette des vins

Domain rated (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)

About the domain :

Cathy and Daniel Fournié took over this 30-hectare estate in 1998, and have been certified organic since 2012. Self-taught, they sought advice from neighboring winemakers. They learned quickly and well, as witness the regular selections on these pages. Their daughter Mathilde joined them in 2015.

RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France

Wine rated (2024 guide) 91/100

Domaine rated (2023 guide) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winegrowers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)

About the wine:

Grapes captured at the peak of ripeness are destemmed and crushed before composing Tradition 2021, red fruit in shambles on the cool tannins of the vintage.

About the domain :

The château has been run by Cathy and Daniel Fournié since 1998, and the vines have been grown organically since 2009. The reds have the panache of the Lot's third terraces. Respect for the soil, and above all for the ripeness of the fruit, is evident in every label. The range is more precise than ever, and even the classic cuvées offer a taste of Malbec that's loose and full of panache.
