The Story
Luis considered himself a nomad winemaker : at first, he was working at the Radoux Tonnellerie and was consulting as an oenologist for a few vineyards. It is at that time when in 2010, he discovered 1.5 ha of 60 years-old Grenache vines, that were pruned in Goblet (some of them which are over 6 ft high!) This was the beginning of his collaboration as a nomad winemaker, making wines where he could, at friends’s wineries. He turns each vineyard that he is working with in organic and biodynamic : no herbicides are used, the vines are worked manually.
