Monbazillac
The Story
At the beginning of 1992 Claudie and Bruno Bilancini leased 9 hectares of the ‘Vineyards of Tirecul’, one of the ancient Premier Crus of Monbazillac. Despite the poor condition of the vineyards, they were able to recognise the enormous potential; old vines planted on the best hillside slope of the region and a soil free from chemical fertiliser.
The wines quickly received wide acclaim, allowing Claudie and Bruno to purchase the domaine in 1997. Now in full control, the worked to restore and develop the ancient chais and to begin implementing their own rigorous standards for the vineyard. From the very beginning they chose to have a respectful approach to the environment, and since 2012, all wines are officially organic.
