Sauternes, between Langon and Fargues. It was created in 2005 when Daniel and Valérie Alibrand bought vines for an ex-nihilo creation, without taking over any pre-existing domain. Today they operate 8 hectares which cover a set of gravel terroirs where there is a clayey presence and even a part rich in iron and complex to work.
The grape variety is 80% Semillon, 18% Sauvignon Blanc with a little gray and 2% Muscadelle, for vines that are over forty years old on average. A plot is even of unknown age, no one having been able to estimate it during the redemption. The estate is certified in organic farming, a process that began very quickly after the purchase.
Daniel Alibrand sums up in a few words the spirit that drives his work: he talks about respect for the terroir and the vintage, he talks about work, more and more work. Finally, he likes to explain that if there is too much to do in the cellar, it is because not enough has been done in the vines.
