Oxymore red

Alongside our Bordeaux range, we also make « free expression » wines from the same terroir, with different vinifications, which give wines of a very particular style.

An oxymoron is a figure of speech that consists in unexpectedly combining two words with contradictory meanings. On our typical Bordeaux terroir, we create wines that go against Bordeaux classicism.

Our Oxymore red is characterised by:

  • whole-bunch vinification to achieve unrivalled elegance
  • ageing in our Georgian qvevri
  • a blend of several vintages (the vintage number corresponds to the most recent vintage in the blend
