Julien Courtois and his partner have Heidi Kuka have worked tirelessly to restore a neglected 4.5 hectare estate of 40 year old vines in Sologne, where they recognized the land’s potential despite the condition of its long-damaged soils. Courtois has since succeeded in producing a slew compelling, terroir-driven natural wines from this small but mighty estate; the elegant and concentrated ‘Ancestral’ is a fine example of his best work. Give it ~30 mins to open & reveal its magic.
