Monicord

From Clos Monicord, independant winery to Monicord, concept Clos Monicord is a family vineyard, a secluded limestone plateau located on Bordeaux’s right bank. A unique vineyard surrounded by hundreds of different trees where vines are grown organically, with many biodynamic principles since several years. Basic philosophy at Clos Monicord is the preservation of biodiversity. It is the guarantee to produce a wine respecting the soil, vine and the terroir. Over time, meeting with other determined winemakers producing wine without pesticides and herbicides made the Bakx family decide to go for preservation of the biodiversity and non-interventionist and a hands-off winemaking approach. Daughter Audrey joined her father several years back and her creative expertise completed a venture, that quickly developed a unique concept. Over the years, other wines were added offering wines with storytelling bottles. Audrey is carrying on the family venture by creating, producing, blending, selecting and packing products in an original manner. All items and designs belong to an innovative, playful and refined visual world. They highlight essential values of life, society and a French way of life or a Monicord lifestyle. Monicord has a different way of looking at wine and nature. We are determined and try to continuously think out of the box and act accordingly. Therefor some of our wines may be labelled as ‘’Vin de France’’. Thanks to our experience, we understand the process of changing and adjusting to the environment takes times. Sometimes one has to let time take its course and we wish the consumer to create his own mindset on Monicord wines without prejudice.
