Specialities: Red wine
In the village of Rogljevo, in Serbia, within unspoiled nature, Estelle and Cyril Bongiraud produce wines with a deep breath on one of the greatest terroirs of the Balkans. Originally from Burgundy, they settled in this wine village in 2008, a place that boasts a thousand-year-old history and is composed of 300 limestone cellars with characteristic arched doors. Very old grape varieties in semi-abandoned vineyards.
Like two gold prospectors, they spent a long time searching for these old vines, which were often reclaimed by the woods on these hills bordering Bulgaria. They define it as a project of rebirth, born from deep passion and knowledge.
Cyril has worked and produced wines for some of the world's largest wineries, such as Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, just to name one. Experience is certainly not lacking!
Indigenous Grape Varieties, French Savoir-faire
Today, across 5 hectares, Estelle & Cyril work side-by-side to produce several varieties of indigenous and international grapes such as: Vranac, Prokupac, Tamjanika, Riesling, Chardonnay, Blaufränkisch, and of course, Pinot Noir.
Their philosophy is simple: to best promote the ripening of the grapes on the limestone terroirs of Rogljevo and to vinify in a simple and natural way, with no additions other than very low doses of SO2 (between 15 and 30mg/l), but also with vintages with no added sulfites.
"We believe that in this way, the magnificent terroir of Rogljevo can best express itself. The wines always offer a sensation of maturity that is well-balanced by a very fresh and mineral finish, in both the white and red wines."
