David Coston & Jean-Marc are very well known across France for their approach to organic viticulture and the care and attention to detail that goes into their winemaking. They do not use additives such as Industrial yeasts, fining agents, added sugar, the only addition to this wine is a small amount of Sulphites ( 20mg/l ) to make sure that the wine reaches you in perfect condition.

Lavender, poppies, & herbs including mint grow wild amogst the vines help to support the natural balance between plant, soil, & insect.

I made the trip to visit Jean-Marc and David Coston in May 2007 and I was really glad I made the effort to go, not only are they really nice genuine guys but the set up is all about respecting the tradition of their family winemaking. The winery is the original building with crumbling walls and 40+ year old barrels and production is casrefully controlled and managed. They don’t make that much wine instead they focus on makeing the best wine they can from selected parcels of land.

Jean-Marc is so passionate about his vines and it shows 

When I tried this wine I was really impressed by how much wine you get for the money. It has such a refreshing finish that as soon as I finished the glass I wanted a re-fill. And that’s really all you can ask for a wine. For the price it’s the type of wine you can happily take to friends for dinner and feel quite pleased that you’ve introduced a very easy drinking wine that will be enjoyed but you’ve not paid the earth at the same time.
