Cuvée Halictus
The Halictus cuvée comes from a 0.80 hectare plot. The aim of this approach is to create a wine that is as natural as possible, with no use of chemicals in either the vineyard or the cellar, and no sulphites added during vinification or ageing.
Halictus is the name of the black bee that populates our hives in our orchard. It evokes all the environmental efforts made in the vineyard : HVE 3 and ISO 14001 certification, the planting of hedges in the vineyard and the installation of beehives.
The label is just as original as the contents. In collaboration with the Parisian cartoonist Helkarava, we wanted to create a label that was playful and representative of the spirit of the cuvée.
