Description
Né en 2001 ... jeunes agriculteurs ...tout créer trouver des terres, investir dans un peu de matériel, du moindre petit sécateur jusqu'à la cuverie, en passant par le tracteur et le pressoir.

Simplement au départ un amour de notre métier de vignerons-oenologues et de notre pays. un projet de vie et un peu d'inconscience professionnelle

Retrouver ce patrimoine fruitier, les vieilles variétés, source d'une expression aromatique de caractère, naturellement bien adapté pour travailler en bio.

Produire et boire, un cidre de qualité qui parle de sa terre en laissant parler le fruit.

Le vin, en AOC Irouléguy, "LUR UMEA" (le petit de la terre, en basque) est issu d'une vieille et petite parcelle de vigne travaillée selon le cahier des charges bio.
