Jacques Lurton’s fondness for minor grape varieties spurred his decision to create an atypical wine. He learned to tame this delicate grape variety, often shunned for its fragility, in his beginnings as a winemaker in the Entre-Deux-Mers. Diane Muscadelle is a surprising and ultra-modern semi-sweet wine.

2020 was marked by very mild temperatures and contrasting precipitation: heavy spring rainfall was followed by an intense summer drought. The fairly mild winter led to early bud break. The summer heat gave way to cool nights in late August, ideal for ripening grapes.
