François Ducrot

Languedoc-Roussillon, France

Francois Ducrot is located in Lansargues (Languedoc) where he works closely with local grape growers who share his dedication to environmentally friendly agriculture. He purchases organic grapes from the eastern part of Languedoc and vinifies in his cellar in Lansargues. Vinification is natural with spontaneous fermentation and no additives but a touch of sulfites to guarantee a clean and precise taste.
 
François source people first and terroir. Each of his relationship has been built over the last decade which give him access to special terroir and incredible quality of grapes among a pretty conventional driven area. This part of Languedoc is full of sediments, deep soil which preserve a nice acidity while ripening gently. The dryness of the climate and extreme temperature still works in this area. The grapes are ripe but with a smart harvest, François is able to produce crisp wines that taste more like the north of France with the energy of the south.

At a glance

· Based in Lansargues, in the Languedoc region. François purchases organically grown grapes from the eastern part of the region and vinifies them in his cellar in Lansargues, working closely with local growers who share his commitment to environmentally responsible farming.

· Giving local organic growers a voice. After discovering that talented farmers around his village were selling their grapes to cooperatives for bulk wine, François created a negociant project to showcase their work, make real wine and offer better price for their grapes.

· Deep sedimentary soils help preserve freshness. These soils support gradual ripening and help the grapes retain acidity despite the region’s dry climate and intense summer heat.

· Precise harvest timing defines the style. François carefully balances ripeness and acidity to produce crisp, vibrant wines, combining a freshness reminiscent of northern France with the fruit and energy of the south.

· Natural vinification, with precision. Fermentations are spontaneous, with indigenous yeasts and no additives beyond a small amount of sulfites to keep the wines clean, precise and expressive.
