Patrice Lescarret

Patrice Lescarret threw himself body and soul into this estate in the commune of Vieux, near Gaillac, in 1993. This 12-hectare domain, known as Causse Marines, has become a beloved name among natural wine enthusiasts. For years, it stood as a flagship and leader of the natural wine movement in the Southwest. Patrice humorously claims he practices organic farming "without long hair, without smoking the carpet, and without his wines smelling like cow farts." On his blog, he often thanks certification bodies for helping him maintain his sharp wit. Responding to ODG critiques that some of his wines are too oxidative, he quips: "Incontinent idiot, thank you, most disastrous ruminant, for the perfection of your dung, etc..." His cuvées consistently offer exceptional value and pleasure. A must-rediscover for any true wine lover.
