Château de Bioul

Vanessa Vaxelaire and Andy Wyckmans have opted to "tell stories" through their wines, and my goodness, they succeed. Theirs is the story of a modern couple tired of hectic city life who withdrew to the Namur countryside with their three children. The story of a dream that came true thanks to the promising land of Bioul, (pronounced Biou), preserve of the Vaxelaire family for over a century. Vanessa and Andy apply the principles of biodynamics and permaculture and are gradually establishing the identity of their vineyard, which now covers a total of 12 hectares. (read more)

Petit Cortil

   Ruby colour with a beautiful intensity.

   Nose of red fruits, with a mineral touch brought, as often in Belgium, by the granitic soil.

  Greedy mouth where the fruit (wild strawberry, cherry) expresses itself without restraint. 

   Poultry and roasted meats. The must: a chocolate and red fruit dessert.

   15-16°C

   With a total of 50 mg/l of SO₂, this wine contains three times fewer sulfites than the dose authorised by the EU for conventional red wines.
