Blend of two very rare ancestral grape varieties from the Bordeaux region, now endangered: Castet and Mancin des Palus.

* The castet: the grape discovered around 1870 in Gironde, it would come from the small village of Castets en Dorthe, located not far from our domain !!
Quickly, this grape variety experienced a boom in the Aquitaine vineyard, with a solid reputation, then was forgotten after the ravages of phylloxera around 1880, (insect responsible for the destruction of a very large part of the French vineyard)
* Mancin des Palus: also a very old Girondin grape variety, it could come from medieval times; In 1781, writings tell us about the great fame of this grape variety, then dominant in certain Grands Crus of Graves and Médoc! Today it has almost disappeared.
