LEO BORSI

From my native San Rafael-Mendoza in Argentine I discovered that I wanted to be part of the wine family, I moved to Burgundy where I developed the career I had never expected. I learned to see wine in a holistic way. And I discovered myself as a Terroir explorer and seeker, analysing each wine according to its geo-sensorielle approch. I studied under Roger Bessis, Jean Claude Fournieux and Michel Feuillat classes. I obtained a degree in vine science. Then a Master in Oenology (DNO) and later a Master in International Trade of Wines and Spirits.

I learnt how to make barrels and foudres working for one year in a Cooperage company.

I worked eight years in Burgundy in Volnay, Meursault, Corton Charlemagne then in Bordeaux: Pauillac, Haut Médoc, Lalande de Pomerol and Saint Emilion. In Champagne (Möet & Chandon) and ten years in Châteauneuf du Pape as a Technical Director for Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe.

In 2010 I have created my own wines under the Clos Ultralocal brand, making in Mendoza, Argentina and in Cahors, France, establishing the first winery to produce wines with the same varietal and brand name on two continents.

In 2014, we created LB&A Consulting with two friends and started an exciting adventure of interpreting every place where I have the chance to make wine. In 2021, I decided to go my own way to dedicate myself to a personal project. Making wines and consulting as well. Oenoleg was born in Mallorca, Spain, where I live with my family.

the wine must have the face of the landscape of origin and the guts of the one who made it.

Working with Leo Borsi helped us to find our true essence. To understand our place and how to work to be able to interpret it and take it to the bottle.

A team effort. It has been very interesting to share the technical knowledge of Malbec and how to make great wines. It didn't help to get back to basics. And to observe.

Working with Leo Borsi has been able to transmit to my wines the sense of place, finesse and elegance that only Leo knows how to transmit to the wines. He is a solid and international professional.

Working with Leo allowed us to maintain a high technical level and the security of doing things well. In addition to an international profile. It has been very enriching, we have learned a lot.

the only way to reach the universal is to start with the ultra-local.
