Additional Info

Starting with the 2018 vintage, Marjorie and Stéphane decided to only bottle a little amount of Las Trabasseres in select vintages. What is not bottled on its own is now blended into 1903. Las Trabasseres is a north-facing terroir, planted in 1913. It produces an intensily mineral and fresh wine that brings a lof of lift to 1903.
