Comment

Since May 2015, the Schmid-Haguenin family has been working to bring Château L’Escarderie back to life. Committed to Organic Farming with a view to certification in 2018, the owners make it a point of honor to make a real wine, as natural as possible. The harvest and many works are done manually. The 19th century cellar, with a very clever semi-buried design, allows natural regulation of the temperature and a gravity supply of the harvest. It is only the yeasts naturally present on the berries that will trigger fermentation. Throughout the entire vinification and maturation process, a professional oenologist ensures monitoring. Impeccable control of the sanitary state makes it possible to considerably reduce the quantity of sulfur necessary for good storage of the wine.

Tasting

Passion is a red wine with an intense color, with aromas of red fruits and a full fruity note. It has an exceptional length in the mouth. It is a typical product of this region which has a thousand-year-old tradition for the production of quality red wines.
