About The Producer
Jean-Luc Baldès reproduces the Moon Wine (Vin de Lune) of the
17th century, when the peasants picked the grapes at night in
order to conceal part of the harvest from the local landowner,
therefore, paying him less taxes. Today, the grapes are
harvested early in the morning to keep the freshness of the fruit.
