Chateau Lafitte
Today, their son Antoine is in charge and has taken the estate in a decidedly natural direction, including Demeter certification for all 5 hectares.
Here the holdings are all Petit Manseng and Gros Manseng on clay and limestone. A new winery was built in 2018 with an emphasis on self sufficiency (solar, gravity, rainwater) along with some new tools, like amphoras, and experimental approaches such as macerated whites, pet-nats, and zero-zero cuvées.
These are very classy natural wines that are both transparent and vibrant and stand out in sea of pretty uninteresting wines that surround them. - Zev Rovine Selections
