Discover the grape variety: Guillemot
Most certainly from Béarn. It should not be confused with the blancard - or palougue - because they both have the same synonym coer de baco. The Guillemot is practically no longer present in the vineyard and is therefore on the verge of extinction. According to published genetic analyses, it is the result of a natural cross between the Manseng Noir and the Verjuice. For more information on other relatives, click here !

It came in a slope-shouldered bottle, not a classic Bordeaux bottle. We tried it with some R ...
Rethinking the wine bottle for the future
There’s been a focus on making wine production less energy intensive as well as environmentally friendly in order to address climate change. The efforts continue but, as is the case for electric cars where it’s the battery technology that needs innovating, it’s in wine bottles where we’re seeing rapid change.
