Bright crimson in the glass. Pretty, aromatic, pure red berries and plum, with a little bit of spice and smoke. Natural - and proper - Bordeaux, on the fresher side. Incredible value.

Damien Lorteau (Chateau les Vieux Moulins) is a young vigneron who recently took over his parent’s estate, determined to pave the way as an organic, natural winemaker in Bordeaux; still a rarity a region beset by monoculture and mass-agriculture.

Pirouette is a blend of two plots: his Mother’s, closer to the Gironde estuary, and his father’s, further south, inland near Reignac.
