Benoit Courault

Benoit Courault is a natural wine producer based in Faye d’Anjou in the Loire Valley, who established his domaine in 2006 after training and gaining experience in Burgundy and at Domaine de l’Anglore in Tavel. He farms organically and biodynamically on schist and brown sandy soils with a deep respect for living soil, using herbal teas, compost and animal traction in the vineyards as well as minimal intervention in the cellar. His wines are spontaneous fermentations with native yeasts and reflect purity, energy and a strong sense of place.
