Ducourt, Le Gout d'autrefois Blanc Limé (NV)

Distributor's Notes

A few years ago, the owner of the celebrated downtown-Bordeaux restaurant La Tupina, Jean-Pierre Xiradakis met the Ducourt family that has been making wines in Bordeaux since 1858. Together, they decided to revive the fortunes of the Blanc Limé for our enjoyment. Made to an authentic French recipe, ingredients include quality dry white wine with a mix of selected natural aromas and gentle spritz. In the 50’s this was the style in the cafés of south-west France and Parisian brasseries, now this original sparkling is back.

Producer Description

Vignobles Ducourt has of course continued to evolve since then, but it is Henri who first instilled in us his hunger for success and his passion for entrepreneurship. He taught us to get the best out of every plot of land by uniting conventional knowledge with modern techniques. This is a work ethic that we strive to perpetuate in order to produce pleasurable, authentic and affordable wines. Highly respected in the world of wine, Henri is no less popular amongst his fellow townsfolk. He was made mayor of Ladaux in 1959 and remained in this position for more than 40 years, participating unceasingly in the development of the commune. He was awarded with a title for exceptional merit in agriculture in 1987, and with a National Order of Merit in 2000. When he retired, he settled at Château d’Haurets, to which he became deeply attached. He patiently restored the ancient chartreuse and planted numerous trees and rose bushes around the chateau, transforming it into a welcoming home where we enjoy gathering as a family.
