Producer

The foundations of Haussmann Famille are based on the story of the colourful Baron Georges Eugène Haussmann. He began as prefect of the Gironde in 1851, and of the Seine in 1853. He elaborated a plan to renovate Paris, directing its transformations with an array of boulevards and avenues. Baron Haussmann was a great lover of wine and fell under the charm of Octavie de Laharpe, the daughter of a great Bordeaux wine merchant, thus founding the House of Haussmann in Bordeaux. 

His descendant today, Nathalie Larraqué-Haussmann, also married into a wine negociant family.

“Haussmann is the story of a family, a whole life. What began as a solemn homage to my ancestor and family name has morphed over the years into a beautiful adventure that never ceases to disrupt and enhance my life.” Nathalie Larraqué-Haussmann

Winemaking

Vinification at low temperature after direct pressing to secure the right colour and flavour concentration with faint tannic contribution from pips and grape skins. After settling, the alcoholic fermentations are prolonged as long as possible in order to maximize the fruity character of this rosé. Maturation in stainless steel ensures the fruitiness is preserved.
