Yvonne Hegoburu
Domaine de Souch, Midi-Pyrénées
This late-life-dream-estate of Yvonne Hegoburu and her husband produced its first vintage in 1990. Always organically grown and farmed, the vines now benefit from biodynamic methods.
The estate itself was actually a former vineyard, long-time un-active, owned by Jean de Souch. It's as a tribute that Yvonne named it back Domaine de Souch.
"Nothing will ever come modify the raw material we're working with, which will only be the reflect of what nature and care from de Souch's people will bring to it" - Yvonne Hegoburu
