Alliance des RécoltantsChâteau Tour BaletteThe estate was bought in 1975 by Bernard Manera. Over the years, Bernard
Manera, with the support of his wife, Martine, upgrades his farm by acquiring
vines to be restored. In less than 25 years, with the help of restructuring, Bernard
Manera has renovated an operation of more than 70 hectares of vines, with an
average age of 20 years, spread over four municipalities. The estate therefore
extends on several terroirs and brings a certain complexity to the wines. In 2002,
he began to sell in bottles and assigned this task to his daughter, Mylène, holder
of a Superior Technician Certificate in Viticulture-Oenology. His son, Marc, takes
care of the production part of the farm after having passed his Professional Bac in
Viticulture. That same year, Bernard Manera embarked on a new policy of growing
vines. Finally in 2004, the desire to go further in the approach undertaken led
the operation to REASONED AGRICULTURE QUALIFICATION, which is checked by
Qualité France, this qualification being recognized by the Ministry of Agriculture.
