François Lurton represents the fourth generation of winemakers in this great family, which has been making wines in the Bordeaux region since 1897.
Before moving into wine, his great-grandfather (and his ancestors before him) made spirits in the Bordeaux region, which they had been doing since the mid-19th century.
Alka (the name of France’s ‘cockerel’ mascot in the Mapuche language) is the result of research into the excellence of Carménère. With this wine, François proved that Carménère could make a complex fine wine all on its own, without any blending.
