Comment

Since May 2015, the Schmid-Haguenin family has been an end to the L’Escarderie castle. Committed to organic farming with a view to certification in 2018, the owners make it a point of honor to make a true wine, as natural as possible. The harvest and many works are done manually. The 19th century chai, of very clever semi-buried design, allows natural regulation of temperature and a contribution of the gravity harvest. It is only naturally present yeasts on the berries that will trigger fermentation. Throughout the vinification and maturation process, a professional oenologist ensures the follow -up. An impeccable mastery of the health state makes it possible to considerably reduce the quantity of sulfur necessary for a good wine guard.

Tasting

Passion is an intense red wine, with aromas of red fruits and a large fruity note. It has an exceptional length on the palate. It is a typical product of this terroir which has a millennial tradition for the production of quality red wines.
