Story 📖: Claude Courtois has established a 13-hectare farm that exemplifies self-sufficiency and biodiversity. His chemical-free approach integrates organic wheat for feeding his cows and a balanced ecosystem of trees, fruit, fields, and woods. The vineyard is managed without pesticides, herbicides, or synthetic chemicals.
Claude has been transitioning responsibilities to his son Etienne, as the younger Courtois brings precision and fresh ideas to the family’s winemaking legacy. Claude, however, still focuses on crafting the Racines cuvées. This is vinified in barrel and then aged for 30 months in oak.
Pairing 🍽: Braised lamb neck with turnips
