This wine is the definition of FUN

It was on the advice of Jean-Baptiste Semmartin of Domaine Lajibe that we found Sebastien Fezas, a young natural winemaker hailing from Armagnac country. Lajibe has started buying fruit from him in 2021 for his upcoming négoce, because the farming is impeccable and biodynamic. When we tried his different cuvées, we were convinced Sebastien is an emerging talent. He has a very modern and free approach of winemaking, onetheless true to its place. His wines show generous fruit and bright acidity. For the first time in the US, we are happy to share with you his pet nat of Ugni Blanc and Chardonnay, his crunchy Syrah and his oxidative Chardonnay.
