The Story
The Fouquerand family comes from a very old family from the town of La Rochepot, and was emancipated by the lord of the town, Marquis de Fargis, in 1629. This family has remained on the land of their ancestors, perpetuating their winegrowing know-how and tradition. Today, the estate covers 18 hectares of vines in La Rochepot, thanks to Denis Fouquerand, who developed the estate from 1970 onwards. His son, Laurent, took over the estate in 2008, developing it in his turn. When Denis passed away, Laurent decided to work his vineyard organically. He obtained this certification in 2013.
