About Le Clos de la Bruyère

The Domaine was founded in 1998 by Claude Courtois' son, Julien Courtois, when he was 20 years old. From an early age, Julien took care of animals with his father and continued to learn cultivation and brewing. The fields owned are 5ha of clay rich in silex and silica soil in the village of Sologne. Game, Munu Pinot, etc. are old trees planted in 1968, and the yield is kept to 1/4 of the fields of the surrounding producers, and some Munu Pinot are released after aging for more than 4 years. His temperament is firmly inherited from his father. Most of the vineyards are within a radius of 300m from the house, and a few remote vineyards are only 1km away, making it an ideal environment for thorough farming and carrying grapes to the cellar immediately after harvest. Part of the turtle is Vigne Française (a tree not grafted onto American rootstock). Vinification: Most of the whites are whole bunch pressed, while the reds are destemmed and fermented in wooden or resin tanks. All aging is done in old Burgundy barrels. As a general rule, both brewing and bottling are sulfite-free. Only around 8,000 bottles are produced annually.
