This
is the story of an extraordinary love-affair bwtween
a man and the land, a love affair that has lasted
for nearly a century, between Andre Lurton and the
vineyards of Bordeaux. Wine in all its diversity,
crafted by a singular individual. To speak of a style
of wine is too limiting; of a signature, too vague.
Say rather an << Andre Lurton appellation >>,
with all the discipline and authenticity inherent
in the term.
