The quality of an organic wine (even more than for a non-organic wine) starts in the vineyards. The principal characteristics of organically grown grapes are the lack of chemical residues and ideal sanitary conditions. If you add to that low yields in the vineyards, you not only improve the quality of the grapes, but also improve the sustainability of the vineyards as the vines are naturally more resistant to plagues. Organic regulations therefore prohibit any kind of treatments with synthetic chemical products (Herbicides, pesticides or fertilizers).

This wine, made of Chardonnay and Xarel·lo stands out for its delicacy and finesse. The light and fresh aromas are characteristic of its youth.
Petite Albet Red
Made primarily from Tempranillo and Garnatxa, this wine stands out for its rounded tannins and silky texture. A typical unoaked red wine with potential to evolve favourabley in the bottle for two to three years
Petite Albet Cava
This cava is made from the three traditional varieties (Macabeu, Xarel·lo and Parellada). It has been made according to the traditional method.
Vibrant crimson red, with young purple hue. Satsuma plums, blackberries and raspberries are supported by vanilla and spice on the nose with undertones of licorice. A rich fruit style wine explodes on the palate with well-supported oak integration uplifting the vibrant red fruit and cassis characters. Nuances of spice and pepper add to this food friendly wine.
Dear Angela,
Spring has GOT to be around the corner!! The weather has been very frustrating for all of us this year-especially those of you in higher elevations. Just begin counting down to the official first day of Spring-only 19 days away. Dream of rose's and something juicy on the grill to help you thaw out while you are counting down. In the meantime keep your blood flowing with some of the big reds in this newsletter.
We thank you for your business,

Cecile has designed every aspect of the estate to maximize here fantastic terroir all the while with the least amount of intervention.
Domaine de Montvac Vacqueyras 2007
Made from 70% Grenache, 25% Syrah, and 5% Mourvedre, the wine is red-purple in color, and the nose brings intense cherry with notes of plum. More of the same cherry fruit pleases your palate with just a hint of spice.
Cotes du Rhone 2008
A high-calibre Côtes du Rhône produced partly from young vines in the Vacqueyras terroir, in which Grenache and Syrah express their finesse and fruitiness. A supple, harmonious wine, best enjoyed in its early years.
