Yesterday, I shared with you how the bankruptcy of H&A Location has impacted us

A €50,000 loss that has severely strained our cash flow. Each year, we are committed to renewing a portion of our barrel stock to maintain the quality of our premium cuvées. Faced with these financial difficulties, we had initially planned to forgo this renewal. However, in the interim, the 2026 vintage harvest has commenced. This is an extraordinary and rather atypical vintage, boasting ripeness levels that we have nurtured precisely as desired for each grape variety. The harvest is still underway, and we anticipate concluding it next week with the late-ripening varieties (Mancin, Petit Verdot...). It is for this reason that we are appealing to you today to help us finance some new barrels. A 500-litre barrel, after all, costs €1,500 (excluding VAT). If we acquire just 6 barrels (3 for our whites, 3 for our reds), that immediately totals €9,000. We have prepared some attractive rewards for those able to lend us a helping hand. These include the magnificent 2022 vintage as deliverable wine, or the promising 2026 for those who are able to wait. Thank you once again for your invaluable support. We pledge not to compromise on the quality of our wines. To participate and discover the rewards: https://cazebonne.fr/en/support-barrels-2026
