Vinya Le Havre

Jean Leon set sail for the USA as a stowaway from the French port of Le Havre, where he was soon discovered by a sailor who decided to help him stay hidden. This wine pays homage to the silent complicity of a stranger who would change Jean Leon's life forever.

Made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this limited-production wine is produced from a unique 12-hectare terroir bearing the same name.
