The Sacred Wood - Elise's Apron 2020
Le Bois Sacré is located in Lucq-de-Béarn, in Jurançon . In 1888, the Saint-Martin family moved into the Cougot house, and since then, generations have followed one another on the farm between breeding, corn cultivation and viticulture. In 1980, Pierre (the great-grandson) and his wife Rose-Marie turned more towards viticulture by restructuring and expanding the vineyard. Today, Laurent and Pauline , the fifth generation, perpetuate the family heritage by adding another dimension: the creation of the Le Bois Sacré wine estate. The vineyard extends over 4 hectares facing the Pyrenees at an altitude of 280 meters. The vines are managed with respect for the environment, without certification.
