Autrement means "in another way" which is very appropriate for this wine which is Bordeaux by origin but somewhat distant from most Bordeaux in spirit.
Jacques Broustet became part time winemaker at his small family property in Entre- Deux-Mers in the late 1990's after several different careers. In 2006 he moved permanently to the farm, abandoned all chemicals and converted the vineyard to biodynamics. There are very few natural wine makers in Bordeaux. Jacques is one of them.
Everything is harvested by hand, destemmed and fermented in cement using just the natural indigenous yeasts. Wines are then aged in old oak or cement with no racking, mixing or topping up. Each variety is vinified separately and the blend in the final wine varies according to vintage. Wines are made and bottled with zero additions.
Jacques calls his wines vins autrefois”, wines from the past, when Bordeaux was elegant.
