L’Authentique: the authentic wine meant to be shared. The one we like to open with a delicious meal, surrounded by people who enjoy spending time together with a glass of fine wine in hand. This wine, not aged in oak, expresses the full personality of its generous terroir, along with a maturity that is remarkably delicious. L’Authentique is a versatile wine, which will pair beautifully with simple tapas or a nice cut of grilled meat.
92 Points James Suckling
A blend of 80% Merlot, 15% Cabernet and 5% Cabernet franc
This wine displays a beautiful purplish red colour, developing intense aromas of black fruits. It is delicious and crunchy. An expressive and elegant “terroir wine” par excellence.
About the Winery
Domaine Haut Ventenac is an independently run Right Bank estate led by Rémi Bucherie. The 13 hectare property reflects a modern vision of Bordeaux, combining serious quality with clarity and strong identity. Bordeaux is often associated with tradition, but rarely with bold branding and modern storytelling. At Domaine Haut Ventenac, we believe Bordeaux can and should offer both.
The vineyards span Francs and Castillon Côtes de Bordeaux, two neighbouring appellations east of Saint Émilion. Both share clay limestone soils and slightly higher elevations that preserve freshness and structure while allowing full ripeness of Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Francs offers terroir driven value, while Castillon’s limestone plateaus and iron rich clays bring added depth and ageing potential.
