From the Grower
"Le Carré du Puits is a project on its own.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nX6RZedrahM One plot, planted in 1941 – we have started a selection massale from this vine now and plant all chenin with that selection. The yield is tiny, lower than 10 hl/ha in general but we insist in keeping and continuing to renovate this vineyard (complantation..). We collaborate with a local farmer who comes with his horse to work the soil. We chose a long ageing in barrels to reveal it’s caracter. It is a very structured, mature, expressive wine."

something
I created the Domäne back in 2014 in a little beautiful village called Rochefort sur Loire. We are a 1.5 hours train ride South West of Paris.. Organic agriculture from day 1 because I grew up like that!. It is a philosophy, a way of life. VIneyards sitting on top of the hill south of the Loire, looking down on this beautiful river and receiving a wonderful climate with some ocean influence (Atlantic just 1 hours away). Very superficial and stony soil. Special Terroir, schiste, quartz, volcanic stones, ...Dry farming and 100% hand harvest. Horse power and sheep too. Mainly Chenin blanc but a bit of red grapes : Cabernet France and Grolleau Noir. We then started the biodynamic way of cultivating our land. Demeter certification followed in 2020. We are a family winery and are working with local & very motivated staff. Our credo is to make elegant, pure wines with love and a lot of attention to the detail. I am very excited to meet everyone at Raw !! From Rochefort with Love 💚..
