Le Clos du Notaire

Our property has always been held by men and women of heart and character! "La Gloriette" is the property's emblematic aedicula, with a splendid view of the estuary. And we also have a plot of red clay with alluvium on the surface which, just to look at, is already splendid... so I'll let you imagine the wine she's offering! There are limestone quarries in the basement that provide freshness and constant humidity. Our vines are mainly located on light hillsides, with a beautiful southern exposure. The estuary also helps to regulate the climate and limit climatic incidents. As for grassing, it is used to control the vigour of certain plots, and above all it is a natural means of protection against erosion!

Our story

Our vines at Clos du Notaire were already mentioned in the 1874 Feret editions as second cru bourgeois. Our vineyard has always been "passed down" from passionate owners to passionate owners. Long stories have followed one another, and we want to do the same now: let our passion for this noble product be expressed by constantly improving the processes... If I took over this field, it is out of love for someone and for wine! It is a joint project with my spouse that led us to this conversion in 2011. Our profile is identical to the previous owners, 40 years ago, so we are a link with the next "lovers"! the taste of consumers is changing, and our goal is to follow the expectations of customers while keeping the expression of our beautiful terroirs. Our recent training has familiarized us with the scientific knowledge to have and modern production techniques. We can thus hope to make the most of each vintage, and adapt our wine-growing and wine-making itineraries.
