We are the 7th generation of the family to run the family vineyard, which is nearly 200 years old, established in Montbrun's village. We have 14 hectares. The land is farmed exclusively using organic methods.
At the time, the vineyard was polyculture, my ancestors made their living from livestock, cereals, some market gardening, and of course the vines ... We are lucky to have a countryside which is thriving.
With my wife Laurence and my daughter Eglantine, I strive to make wines which reflect our values. Wines to share, full of fruit and flavour, full bodied, and honest. We certainly hope that our wines inspire emotion in those who taste them.
Being a winemaker isn't just a job for me, it's simply the way of life that I always imagined.
My name is Alexandre They, winemaker at Château Vieux Moulin.
