Presentation
In the very old villages of the South-West, the narrowest alleyways were called “carrelots.” It was there, in the shade of the stone walls, that lovers would meet…
Legend has it that Queen Margot and her lover, Charles de Balzac, known as “Bel Entraguel,” Lord of the Bastide de Dunes, were once caught enjoying a glass of Brulhois wine.
A symbol of forbidden and passionate love, our Carrelot des Amants range delicately embodies the singular character of South-West wines.s amours interdits et passionnés, notre gamme Carrelot des Amants incarne avec délicatesse le caractère singulier des vins du Sud-Ouest.
