It’s nice to be in the midst of a legendary career, right where Axel Heinz is!
This week we talk to Axel Heinz. It’s nice to be in the midst of a legendary career, right where Axel Heinz is! For over 17 years he was the winemaker and Estate Director at Tuscan icons, Ornellaia and Masseto in Bolgheri, Italy. In 2023, he went back to his roots. Axel was born in Germany but grew up, studied and worked in Bordeaux, taking over at Chateau Lascombes, a second growth in Margaux. With Merlot pumping through his veins, Axel Heinz is bringing Lascombes back to its great Bordeaux tradition.
