Santo Leocadie Eden [2018] 750ml/Red

Mineral-rich wine made from pure white soil

Sainte-Leocadi is a winery located in Aisne, Minervois, in the Languedoc region. Aisne is a town with strong medieval features. This area has the warmest climate in Minervois and offers typical Mediterranean views. The winery is run by Thierry Bonnel and his wife Anne. The area of ​​the field is approximately 30 ha, and the central field is surrounded by a black fence around an old stone house. From the strong calcareous soil, we produce wines that are rich in minerals and have excellent cost performance. It has an exquisite balance of lively acidity and a pure and supple mouthfeel.

After World War I, Fernand Averreux began producing wine in-house, and after winning a major competition, the winery began its path to success. However, after World War II, business became difficult and Fernand's children were forced to join the cooperative. In 2002, the current owner, who is his great-grandson, gave his all to the fields and tried his hand at making his own Mototsume again. The capital investment for the winery became too much for them, so while they continued to sell wine to négociants, they began selling the few dozen bottles they had left for the winery to local specialty stores. It was a cuvée called ``Averreux'', named after his great-grandfather.

In the summer of 2003, Alan Gourdis, a wine merchant, visited this area and was so moved by the bottle that he happened to get his hands on that he immediately visited the domaine. Alain fell in love with the couple's personality and the excellence of their wine at first sight, and decided to work with his friend Jean-Christophe, who is in the same industry, to help Sainte-Léocadi. As a result of the three of us working together for nearly 10 years, with the full support of Thierry, who has little sales experience, Sainte Léocadi is now sold not only in specialty stores and restaurants across France, but also all over the world. Wine Spectator magazine also selected it as ``the best value for money in Languedoc''. Celebrating the realization of a dream and above all a deep friendship, the trio, who found their own Garden of Eden in the fields of Sainte-Léocadi, have released a new cuvée called ``Eden''.

A special cuvée made from the best plots and aged in barrels. Aromas of berry compote and licorice. A well-balanced wine with a fruity taste and mellow tannins.
