Begun in 2003, the Clos Louie adventure is a textbook case: doll vineyard (2.3 ha) on a beautiful clayey-limestone soil of Castillon, careful cultivation in biodynamics, double manual sorting during the harvest, vinification with little intervention, gentle maturing in half-masses of 500 litres. Louison et Léopoldine is the other wine from Clos Louie, made from the youngest vines (50 years old all the same), giving pride of place to Cabernet-Franc for a brilliant fruity taste and the promise of a quick-lasting gourmet pleasure.

Started in 2003, the adventure of Clos Louie is a textbook case: doll's vineyard (2.3 ha) on a beautiful clay-limestone terroir of Castillon, very old vines (150 years old!) mostly Merlot and red tail malbec, careful biodynamic cultivation, double manual sorting during the harvest, little interventionist vinification, gentle maturing in 500-litre demi-muids. A true artist's wine, absent from the guides but that informed amateurs know well.

Petit cru de 10 ha (6 ha en blanc, 4 ha en rouge) au cœur des Graves, sur des terrasses alluvionnaires de la Garonne, tenu par un couple investi : viticulture bio, vinifications soignées. Le vin rouge, 60% cabernet-sauvignon et 40% merlot, bénéficie de macération pré-fermentaire à froid pour un fruité plus expressif.

Regardless of its production in the Margaux appellation, Mille Roses also produces an Haut-Médoc on 4 parcels, 5.5 ha, around the Château. 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Petit Verdot giving a dashing, accessible and silky wine, finely wooded (25% new oak). And of course, driven organically since 2010.

The smallest cru bourgeois (3.9 ha) in the Médoc and one of the first certified organic (in 2011), run by Mrs Nadalié, oenologist and daughter of the Nadalié cooperage, which supplies many of the great Bordeaux wines. Located in the south of the Médoc between La Lagune and the Margaux appellation, 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Merlot, it is difficult not to like its Clos La Bohême with its floral nose (very peony) on a sweet, tender, fresh palate and always tasty tannins.
