Hello!

I great producer/wine I came across recently...

Madame Marin-Pestel moved with her family in 1998 to the town of Padern in The Haute Corbières (Languedoc-Roussillon) in search of adventure and leaving behind a career in direction of French museums. Currently has a vineyard of about 6 hectares. She, I think she produces wines are very personal, but at the same time wines in which human intervention is ‘restricted’ to when necessary. Leaving things be. I guess she follows her instinct and also lets her wine live the adventures they want to live. She works the vines natural and is quite active in the dissemination of a new wine tourism activity within the region with other wineries. Complex wines per se, but fresh, pleasant and that gently invite you to delve into them and to discover them completely.

Had the opportunity to try this wines earlier this year and again just know and believe me they’re amazing!
