CHATEAU CROIX DE LABRIE 2019 WITH OWNER-WINEMAKER PIERRE COURDURIE
Show Notes

Chateau Croix de Labrie's owner and winemaker, Pierre Courdurie, tells James about the early spring they experienced and the mildew they encountered in the making of the 2021, which Pierre said reminded him of the conditions they faced when they made the 2011.

James asks Pierre for his thoughts on the 2019 vintage, now that the wine has been bottled for a while. Pierre explains that the taste of the wine shows a certain purity, possibly as a result of the biodynamic methods now being used at Chateau Croix de Labrie.
