A History of Over 150 Years

It all began in 1857 when the Baudel Family started to grow their own vines on their estate. 100 years later in 1958, most vines were destroyed as a result of temperatures going below -30°. 20 years later, Thierry Baudel along with his father helped replant the vines, which resulted in it securing a gold medal in the General Agricultural competition held in 1988. The year 2017, marked the beginning of the Colibri Project, which went beyond the simple organic and biodynamic labels.

A must visit, passionate family run winery that makes unique and excellent wines. Unfortunately I was walking and could not buy but one. The winemaker (oldes son and 49ers fan) spent much time explaining the wines and process. It was a truly memorable experience. Must stop by and say hello. They are most welcoming.

I recommend it 100%, we visited the estate as a group of 5, the owner took the time to answer all our questions, it was a great time to discover their hard and exciting work as a group of 3 to produce quality wine with AB certification.

Appointment made overnight via the platform. We had a very pleasant time with Fabien who explained to us the work done on his wines. Fabien made us discover his world in all simplicity and went into more detail to answer our many questions. In addition to the Cahors Appleations, which has a heavy specification, the estate has launched into the production of "French" wines (no Cahors appellation) with a fresh and modern white wine. A real treat. We are in the presence of a producer on a human scale, with 2 generations who know how to work together to combine Tradition and Modernity. The tasting was a pleasure and we look forward to discovering and introducing these wines to our friends, accompanied by a good meal. The experience is really worth the detour. A big thank you to Fabien and his family, and encouragement to continue.

What an amazing little winery! The passion of Fabian and the family is incredible and you can taste it in the final product! Wines were innovative and the Pomat is genius alternative for someone like me who can’t drink sparkling wine. I am excited to see what else they achieve!
