Olivier Cousin Description
Olivier considers his vineyard to be a garden, and he cultivates it with the care one would cultivate a small and very treasured patch of tomatoes. Like all good biodynamic farmers, he does not believe in monoculture. We experienced this bounty first-hand in the food we ate every day. Lettuce from the garden every night for dinner, blood sausage he made himself, and chickens killed and roasted the same day. Olivier believes biodiversity is essential to healthy soil and therefore healthy plants and vines, and to a healthy planet.
Vines here were planted in the 1950s!
Personality of the wine is rustic yet deep and intriguing. Dense, with lovely tannic structure and notes ranging from ripe black fruit to tobacco and wet earth. A real treat and legendary wine.
