Originally from the Gers, Hugues Laborde has carved out a unique path in Bordeaux, bridging classic terroirs with a modern, liberated vision. After taking the helm of Vignobles Invindia—now carrying his own name—he revitalized estates such as Château Haut-Meyreau in the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers. Anchored on a mosaic of limestone, clay, and gravel soils where each grape variety finds its ideal parcel, the vineyard breaks away from excessive oak and heavy extraction. Driven by high-precision viticulture, low-intervention winemaking, and the spirit of his manifesto cuvée Libre, the estate crafts vibrant, fresh, and digestible wines dedicated to pure and immediate pleasure.
