Avant-gardist, the Domaine de l'Ecu is certified in organic agriculture since 1975 and biodynamic since 1998 (Demeter) on all of its 24 hectares. They are also certified Biodyvin since 2014. The Domaine has renounced on all technological artifice in the cellar to break with the movement of standardization of wines and preserve the link uniting each of the Cuvees to a terroir and a vintage.
From Barolo to Bordeaux, these wines are steeped in tradition. The style covers a broad spectrum of flavor profiles, but tend to be elegant and structured and can be cellared for a long time.
These wines often have savoury tones of earth, bell pepper, tobacco, cassis, and are often medium to full bodied, with long finish & structured palattes
