Alongside our Bordeaux range, we also make « free expression » wines from the same terroir, with different vinifications, which give wines of a very particular style.
An oxymoron is a figure of speech that consists in unexpectedly combining two words with contradictory meanings. On our typical Bordeaux terroir, we create wines that go against Bordeaux classicism.
Our Oxymore Blanc stands out for:
- A single grape variety: Sémillon (a Bordeaux underdog, but a favorite of ours!)
- A long, oxidative pressing—defying modern winemaking conventions
- Completed malolactic fermentation
- Aging in Austrian oak vats

Francs Côtes de Bordeaux
A vintage of remarkable freshness, with a rich palate and subtle tannins that create a lingering finish.
This is a textured wine that will pair beautifully with your meals. Don’t hesitate to enjoy it with cheese.
It’s a more complex and longer-lasting cuvée on the palate than our Paradoxe Blanc.
