Liber Pater

Liber Pater is a revered, boutique winery located in the iconic Bordeaux wine region of France. Known for producing some of the world's most exclusive and rare wines, this small and private vineyard exudes a powerful allure to fine wine connoisseurs globally.

Originally established in 2005 by eccentric wine visionary, Loic Pasquet, Liber Pater quickly carved out a unique niche. Pasquet's philosophy was driven by a fervent desire to recreate the authentic Bordeaux wines of the 19th century, before the phylloxera epidemic wiped out many original vine varieties. To achieve this, he revived ancient Bordeaux vines, such as Castets and Tarney Coulant, that had fallen into obscurity, These were grown without trellises in the manner of the ancients, leading to lower yields and a uniquely intense flavour.

What truly sets Liber Pater apart is the sense of exclusivity surrounding its wines. With an annual production of only around 1,000 bottles, the scarcity of Liber Pater's vintages has created significant demand and exorbitantly high prices. Indeed, fetching an average of £30,000 per bottle, the wines from Liber Pater rank among the most expensive on the market.

The vineyard itself lies amidst the rolling hills and picturesque landscapes of Bordeaux. With only 2.5 hectares within the Graves appellation, it is unassuming in its size, yet overwhelming in its inherent beauty and charm.

At the heart of Liber Pater is a commitment to preserving traditional winemaking techniques and fostering a deep connection with the vineyard's natural environs. Each bottle encapsulates the rich history of Bordeaux winemaking, offering a remarkable tasting experience that is both a nod to the past and a toast to the future,

In essence: Liber Pater is an ode to the art of winemaking. Its wines are not simply a product, but an emblem of history, faithful to the authentic flavours of old Bordeaux they are a testament to the age-old adage that, in wine, there is truth.
