Laurence Alias, an agronomy engineer, to look after the vines (biodynamic) and Pascale Choime, an oenologist, to take care of the vinifications also have half a hectare in Margaux, pampered like a vegetable garden. It gathers 6 Bordeaux grape varieties (with petit-verdot, carménère and malbec), some of which are more than a hundred years old. Grown biodynamically, nothing else in the cellar but grapes and a little sulphur, matured in 400-litre barrels, everything is done to stay as close as possible to the most delicate and crunchy fruit. A real gem like the Bordeaux vineyard knows how to conceal it.

Very rare are the crus of the north of the Médoc to have launched out for the moment in the organic conversion because of a stronger hygrometry than everywhere else in the Gironde. De Côme, a Petit Cru Bourgeois (superior) of 7 ha, has become after 7 years of efforts (and the loss of 2/3 of the 2018 harvest) the first growth of Saint-Estèphe certified organic, in a supple, fine and silky version of the appellation.

This beautiful 24-hectare estate has been run by Alain Moueix since 1992.
