Les abeilles (native bees)
La série
A naturalist winemaker and amateur entomologist, Eric has always had a real passion for solitary bees.
Little-known to the general public, there are almost 1000 species, which do not live in colonies and do not produce honey, yet are essential for plant pollination. Nearly 200 species are found in the vineyards of Château le Coteau.
This collection has been created out of a desire to help visitors discover the world of bees.
Each vintage has its own bee and food plant.
The grapes, picked at optimum ripeness, are vinified in new 500-liter barrels.
Gently hand-picked, they gradually release the best of the terroir in which they were born.
Once the cooper has closed the barrels, a gentle, respectful ageing process begins.
