She’s got a nose for wine.


We place a tremendous amount of importance on the precise moment our grapes are picked. The actual harvest day has to be perfect – the grapes must have just the right amount of sugar and the best aromas.
This daunting task is the responsibility of our oenologist artist, Marie-Laure, based in France.

 
Q : What was your goal when creating the Volute Wine?
 
Marie-Laure : I tried to create wines that can be consumed outside of meals. Light and fresh, not too complex, yet of excellent quality, and easy-to-drink for those new to wine.
 
 
Q : There are a lot of wine varieties, why choose Bordeaux?

Marie-Laure : The Volute Sauvignon blanc was the first wine created. It responded to my needs as a consumer as well as a professional. It is fruity, typed and elegant. It is very aromatic, and the touch of Semillon gives it a well rounded pallatte. For the Red, we could have considered something other than Bordeaux wine varieties, but the Merlot is a very modern variety, fruity, long, and with soft tannins. It is the variety that established Bordeaux's reputation, and more particularly the Pomerol and Saint Emilion appellations. For the Rosé, we hesitated, but the Cabernet Sauvignon, produced as a Rosé, develops a very expressive nose and vivid colors, giving it a young and modern aspect. We work with small vine growers that share our view that wine can be made more accessible and more modern, yet maintain a high level of quality and authenticity.
