Loïc’s passion for farming propelled him into winemaking. Organically certified since 2011, Loïc includes many biodynamic sprays and principles in his process. The main task is to fortify the soil, by limiting soil impact, growing various cover crops, and by introducing domestic animals and encouraging wild animals in the vineyards. With restricted yields and hand-harvested fruit, slow fermentations with vineyard yeast develop the depth required to make memorable wines. The vinification that follows is with minimal sulfur and maturing in thoughtfully selected vessels of amphora, sandstone eggs, oak, and fiberglass. A clear expression of the terroir, Loïc delivers wines with incredible intensity, complexity, and focus.
