A wine made from Négret de Banhars, a modest grape variety from the Aveyron region planted at Domaine de Quissat in 2013 in tribute to their ancestor Auguste, a winegrower in the village of Banhars. The vineyard is located on a south-facing hillside above a small limestone cliff overlooking the small valley of La Masse, a tributary of the Garonne. The soil is moderately deep and clay-limestone.

A very colourful, lively and fruity wine, rather light on the palate, with a moderate alcohol content. It is atypical with a truly original character. It can be served slightly chilled in summer, alongside light meals. It is fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in stainless steel vats to preserve the freshness of its aromas. This cuvée contains no added sulphites or additives.

Le Domaine de Quissat is a 50-hectare family farm located in the heart of the Lot-et-Garonne hills. It is run by Romaric and Agathe Hardy, farmer-winemakers. The small 5-hectare vineyard has been organically farmed since 2000 in a preserved environment, surrounded by woods and plots that are also organically farmed, in the commune of Bazens. 

The grapes are harvested by hand, the yeasts are indigenous, the addition of sulphites is kept to a minimum and several cuvées are produced without added sulphites or any other additives. The Biocohérence label for the entire farm and the Vin Méthode Nature label for some of the cuvées reflect a desire to work as virtuously as possible.
