Benoit Courault Le Verger de L'Étang 1.5 L 2023

Benoit Courault began his career in wine as a sommelier. His curiosity to understand what lies behind the bottles first led him to the Beaune Wine School. During his studies, he completed several internships, mainly in Burgundy. It was only after his studies that he became interested in biodynamic and natural wines. This led him to meet a legend in the natural wine scene, Eric Pfifferling at the Domaine de l'Anglore. It was in Eric's terroir and cellar that he understood the world of natural wine.

After three years at the Domaine de L'Anglore in Tavel, Benoit decided to start his own adventure and bought a 6 hectare estate with his wife in Faye d'Anjou in the Loire. From the outset, he practised biodynamic and organic farming, with a lot of work on herbal teas, infusions, macerations, etc. The vineyards are worked by horse. Benoît's soil is typical of this small corner of Anjou: most of his vines are planted on schist. He lives among the vines with his wife, children and horses.
