Mas Coutelou

Le Mas Coutelou is a wine estate located in the town of Puimisson. (34) This four-generation family estate has been using organic farming since 1987, long 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, a new impetus has been given to the estate. The wine which was mainly sold by trade is now marketed entirely in bottles in France and for export. The harvest is manual. The vinifications are meticulous and adapted to the grape variety and the vintage. They are as natural as possible. The choice to vinify "natural" is the culmination of the work carried out in the vineyard, it is to limit the inputs to let the grapes express themselves (no addition of SO², yeasts, enzymes, etc.). SO2 additions are generally non-existent - including at bottling - for all cuvées in order to preserve the authentic character of our wines. Bottling is done at the estate, without filtration, trusting the lunar calendar, so that the wines that bear our name are pampered from the vine to the glass. We let nature take its course while keeping an eye to observe, a hand to help and accompany, a palate to taste, a heart to share... Wine is a beverage that generates dialogue and conviviality... Grapes, work and love, this is our philosophy.
