Informations
Micalet first appeared in the 4th edition of « Bordeaux et ses vins » by Edouard Féret (1893) ; at that time it was classified as “cru artisan”. “This cru artisan can hold a candle to some of the more famous growths-even surpass a few” (Féret XVII edition). The grapes are exclusively hand-picked. This family winery produce only organic wines.
