In 2012, she acquired 52 ares of vines and set up as a winegrower. It now owns 4 hectares, and produces wines in certified organic farming , with biodynamic practices and low interventionist vinification .
La Vague is a blend of Abouriou (1/3), Cabernet Franc (1/3) and Merlot (1/3) , from a place called Baquey in Cocumont. The Abouriou is kept in whole bunches while the Cabernet Franc and the Merlot are de-stemmed. The grapes are lightly punched for a gentle extraction. The wine is aged for at least 18 months in old demi-muids , then in concrete vats.
