A naturalist winemaker and amateur entomologist, Eric Leglise has always had a real passion for solitary bees. Little known to the general public, there are almost 1000 species, which do not live in colonies and do not produce honey, yet are essential for plant pollination. Nearly 200 species are found in the vineyards of Château le Coteau. This collection has been created out of a desire to help visitors discover the world of bees. Each vintage has its own bee and food plant. Eucera is made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, picked at optimum ripeness and vinified in new 500-litre barrels. Gently hand-picked, these grapes gradually release the best of the terroir in which they were born. Once the wine has finished fermenting in barrels, a gentle, respectful ageing process takes place over 18 months before the wine is bottled.
