From

A land where vine roots dare to defy rocky soils, where the sun intensifies every grape’s journey. Bodega Piedra Negra Chacayes is a tribute to François Lurton’s pioneering footprint in the mystical Los Chacayes region, a vineyard standing proud and tall at 1,100 meters above sea level, bringing French finesse to Argentine exuberance.

This wine is not just about drinking; it’s an immersion in the rich layers of its origin story. François Lurton didn’t just find land—he found a dreamscape where semi-desert climates and exceptional terroir converge. His organic methods shaped an environment where every grape tells a story of resilience and flavor, echoing the Pessac-Léognan soils of his homeland, yet distinctly Argentine.

Experience the vibrant dance of acidity and flavor born at this altitude, where diurnal shifts coax out a balanced, refined alchemy of taste. This isn’t merely a bottle—it’s a passport to a place where tradition meets innovation, underpinned by an unswerving commitment to sustainable and organic viticulture. It teases with the layered complexities of its youth, while promising the nuanced sophistication of an aging masterpiece.

Join the journey with each sip—a nod to the past, an embrace of the present, a promise to the future.
