Anecdotes about the domain
Elie says: "I am an experienced and passionate winemaker and cellar master. I have been managing vineyards and making wines for 25 years already. Our wines are easy to digest, respect and express the terroirs and the ageing in barrels supports them without denaturing them. Our dream: to create a sober and expressive vineyard, and our credo: affordable wines, to share with friends, which pay the winemaker correctly, without becoming pure products of speculation!"
The domain's short story
Elie and Muriel bought the Moulin de la Marzelle vineyard at the end of 2017 and decided to run it according to the principles of agro-ecology. 0 herbicide as early as 2017, organic conversion as early as 2018, first wine from the vineyard in organic conversion in 2019, first Vin Méthode Nature in 2020, and first organic wines in 2021! Biodiversity, maintenance and development of hedges, elaboration of expressive wines... a nice tasting note given by Andrea Larsson, best sommelier of the world, for the second wine of the domain, Château Tour Camillac 2018 (our first wine produced and marketed since the purchase of the property)! Gold medals in Lyon and Frankfurt for the 2019 vintage. The first vintage of the estate, Château le Moulin de la Marzelle aged 16 months in barrels has been recognized by the RVF, le Point and Cuisine et Vins de France as a new nugget to discover.
The winemaker's pride
