In the team of bloggers, youtubers, instagrammers, from the Gironde department, you follow Guillaume Seigue, author of the bog God Bless Bacchus and passionate about viticulture. For Guilaume, when you open a bottle of wine, you leaf through beyond the tasting, the entire historical booklet of the wine estate. You get closer to working in the vineyards, or in the cellar, and much more! Let’s go 55 km from Bordeaux, facing the Médoc, in the region of Blaye, on the right bank of the Gironde estuary. Here, at Château La Levrette, the team works with the greatest respect for nature. No chemical weed killer is used. Most of the work in the vineyard is done manually.
Guillaume Seigue: Château la Levrette is above all an encounter in the Blayais, that of its owner, Laetitia Mauriac, grand-niece of the illustrious François Mauriac. She wanted to create a domain with character and a great touch of audacity. Because yes, the wines of La Levrette are audacious. We taste them once and we remember them for a long time.
Let’s see why according to Guillaume Seigue: The predominantly Merlot red is powerful, racy, ample and takes you to the right bank of the Dordogne not far from the citadel of Blaye, where the wind whips the vineyard. The most surprising is the 100% Sauvignon Blanc white with aging on lees which gives it more complex and full-bodied notes than usual on this terroir, it leaves no one indifferent because it has a real personality. In order to promote her wine, Laetitia never lacks ideas. She runs tastings all over the country to stay in touch with wine lovers, as is the case in summer with tastings on boats cruising along the Garonne.
