About the Producer La Ferme des 7 Lunes
La Ferme des 7 Lunes is a family domain run by Jean Delobre. In times gone by, polyculture was the estate’s priority, and their produce was mainly table wine. A man of character, Jean decided to move away from the cooperative to craft his own wines in 2001; his vines had already been certified organic since 1997. The consistent philosophy at the domain is one that seeks to protect the earth’s raw material. This means, for example, that only native yeasts are used and extractions are gentle to retain the delicate nature of the fruit. Maceration takes around three weeks and the grapes ferment in open concrete vats. The wines are not fined or filtered, and when sulphur is used, it is added only in homeopathic doses. A gem of a vintner whose produce is to be shared and enjoyed.
