Mas Coutelou

Mas Coutelou is a wine estate located in the commune of Puimisson. (34) This family estate, run for four generations, has been managed organically since 1987, well before this type of production became fashionable.

Over the years, the entire vineyard has been restructured, the winery modernized, and the quality of the wines has improved. Since 2007, the estate has been revitalized. The wine, which was previously sold primarily to négociants, is now sold entirely in bottles in France and for export. The harvest is done by hand. Winemaking is meticulous and tailored to the grape variety and vintage, and is as natural as possible. The choice to vinify "naturally" is the culmination of the work carried out in the vineyard; it means limiting inputs to allow the grapes to express themselves (no added SO2, yeasts, enzymes, etc.). SO2 is generally absent – even at bottling – for all cuvées in order to preserve the authentic character of our wines. Bottling takes place at the estate, without filtration, following the lunar calendar, so that the wines bearing our name are nurtured from vine to glass. We let nature take its course while keeping an eye to observe, a hand to help and guide, a palate to taste, a heart to share... Wine is a beverage that fosters dialogue and conviviality... Grapes, work and love, that is our philosophy.
