The Story
Considered the true "gateway" to the estate, the Équilibre cuvée is a fresh and harmonious organic red wine crafted by Kathleen Van den Berghe. Sourced from younger vines (typically 30–40 years old) grown on sand and sandy-clay soils in the heart of the Bourgueil terroir, it is designed for accessibility and purity. The winemaking process involves a cold pre-fermentation maceration and 6–9 months of aging in stainless steel tanks to preserve the vibrant fruit character. The wine displays a ruby color with garnet reflections, offering a bouquet of fresh red berries, raspberry, and cherry, balanced by supple tannins and a bright, refreshing acidity typical of the Loire Valley.
