Ricardelle de Lautrec

Walking into Ricardelle de Lautrec was like walking into a friends home, very welcoming and excited to share with you what they’ve been up to, you immediately feel at easy and find their excitement contagious, looking forward to discovering everything they’re about to show you.

In 1999, Ricardelle de Lautrec began their transition to organic farming. It wasn’t an easy task. They say they looked like fools when they started and today they are considered pioneers in their region. To Ricardelle de Lautrec, organic farming means knowing how to observe, listen and exchange with their colleagues. And since January 2021, they have taken a new step towards their conversion to Biodynamics.

Upon returning from the vineyards, we got to taste some of their wines still in the tank, close to being ready to bottle. Exploring their wine shop showcased the range of creative and artistic labels that they use. Then the tasting of their current releases took place outside in the sun, sampling their whites, rosés and reds. An overall impressive quality, showing once again that organic winemaking practices do not affect the quality.
