We quickly understood that viticulture and conventional winemaking do not suit us. was not suitable and we transformed it. our different professional experiences so that they correspond to our needs. our ideas. The story of our vineyard begins in 2018 when we “found” a very old vine planted with Massale selection Cabernet Franc, in the heart of Rabelaisie and the Chinon appellation, at a place called « The Justices ».

The first vinified juices surprised us with their authenticity. and their depth. The good feedback we got on Les Justices convinced us to continue our adventure: the “ Vineyards Les Justices » was born...
