About Winemaker
Joel Falmet
Joël Falmet runs a quaint family vineyard spanning 6.5 hectares, nestled around the charming village of Rouvre-les-Vignes. Rooted in familial heritage, the domaine has been cherished through generations, with Joël assuming stewardship in the early 1990s. Collaborating closely with his brother Yves, who has since established himself as a producer in Saint-Chinian, Joël spearheaded the production of the domaine's inaugural estate-bottled wine—a rare feat in the Aube region, where grapes typically find their way to larger Champagne houses for blending purposes. Demonstrating an unwavering commitment to sustainable practices, Joël abstains from herbicides and pesticides, opting instead for innovative methods like interplanting oats between vine rows. This thoughtful approach not only safeguards against erosion but also enriches the soil with nitrogen, regulates water competition in varying weather conditions, and mitigates evaporation—a testament to Joël's conscientious stewardship of the land.

- Plowing or other solutions to avoid chemical herbicides
- Use of indigenous yeast
- Handpicked grapes
- Low to no filtering
- Low to no sulfites
- Winemaking that respects the grapes: no pumping or rough handling
of the grapes - no micro-oxygenation
Not all of our wines are natural; some are simply organic or sustainable.
However, they're all delicious and good for you!
