something
Julien Courtois and Heidi Kuka created a 4.5 h vineyard located in the heart of the Sologne. They both cultivate seven varieties of grapes. Julien is a natural and non-interventionist winemaker like his father Claude. Everything is done manually from start to finish. As a result, his wines are unique, rich and with singular taste.
