Bio
We're talking to you about his Winery
|
Alexandre Durand is the son of Bergerac winegrowers, but it is around Faugères that he decided to set up in 2018 by creating Winery Pèira Levada. Indeed, after having had to give up the idea of taking over from his father, Alexandre pursued his quest to make excellent natural wines. From university courses to field experiences, he travels through the vineyards of France and acquires solid skills. It was in 2010, during a harvest season at Château Tour des Gendres, in his native Dordogne, that he met Sybil Baldassare (Winery de la Graine Sauvage). After a stint in Italy, the young couple moved to Faugères in 2014 to take up a position as farm managers. Sybile created her own Winery the following year. Alexandre launched his own business in 2018 and created Winery Pèira Levada. A Winery of 4 and a half hectares in AOP Faugères divided into ten small plots of vines all around the commune of Laurens, on different types of soil composed of schist, marble and limestone. |
The vineyard is run according to the principles of biodynamic and organic agriculture. All operations carried out in the vineyard give priority to maintaining the vitality of the soil with the greatest respect for life, using only substances of mineral or vegetable origin to protect it and animal manure to feed it. The grapes, picked by hand in crates, are destemmed and vatted by gravity, then vinified with their native flora, without any oenological inputs or sulphite being used. You will have understood that this is pure juice! |
