Les Justices

Sophie and Clément Maire-Kurdziel, both oenologists who graduated from Montpellier in 2009, have been living in the Loire Valley since 2011. They quickly understood that conventional viticulture and winemaking did not suit them, so they transformed their various professional experiences to correspond to their ideas. The story of their Les Justices estate began in 2018 when they "found" a very old vine planted with cabernet-franc in mass selection, in the heart of Rabelaisie and the Chinon appellation, at a place called " Les Justices. "

At the time, both employees in wine production knew that the vineyard would be run organically and that they would practice vinification respectful of the terroir without input. The first vinified juices surprised them with their authenticity and depth.

In 2021, they worked on new vines: still conducted according to the principles of organic farming, on the terroirs of Chaintres (Saumur-Champigny) and Saint-Germain-sur-Vienne (Chinon). The surface of the vines thus amounts to approximately 2ha. 2021 is also the year they introduced animal traction in the vines.
