Chacolo Lineño Destilado de Agave, Mexico Stagiaire Jean-Baptiste Bordeaux-Montrieux has been running

Jean-Baptiste Bordeaux-Montrieux has been running the domaine from the 1980's and the wines have always been made in a very traditional method: fermented in wood tonneau barrels for two weeks

Further ageing in bottle for some time before release
