The vines on Bordeaux’s Right Bank next to the Dordogne were first planted by Roman troops and settlers in the first century CE. Known for Merlot-dominant blends, with its clay and limestone soils, this region of France delivers softer, fruitier wines. If you're a fan of Pomerol or St-Émilion, this is your nirvana.
It is here you will find Maison Lineti, happily shunning 2,000 years of tradition by making not wine, but whisky. French whisky. A thousand miles or so from the distilleries of Scotland and Ireland, this small company is making the spirit in a way whisky has never been made before.
