Monkeyshed Wines

Terra Burdigala is a sort of mini co op of like minded high end growers pulled together and collectively marketed by Stéphane Derenoncourt and François Thienpont. Stéphane’s excellent work in the vineyard is spoken for by the plethora of prestigious properties for whom he consults. Francois comes from the family that own Vieux Chateau Certan, Chateau Puygueraud and Le Pin amongst others. Pedigree for both that is not to be sniffed at.
What they have done with Terra Burdigala is simply to make the fruits of their high standards and practices accessible. They gathered together a group of winegrowers who believed in the same high standards of quality; respect for nature, low yields and wines with real authenticity. From meticulously selected vineyards, sometimes far removed from the most fashionable appellations, they offer all Bordeaux-lovers excellent and undeniably "good value for money" wines.
