Producer Information

Originally from the rgion parisienne Jrmie Illouz got the wine bug drinking his way through the capitals vibrant scene. During his studies Jrmie befriended his business partner Paul Parlange as well as Fabien Jouves of Mas del Peri. Convinced by the huge potential of the underrated Cahors AC he moved there in 2008. Jrmies 5.5ha are divided into ten plots, pockets of vines minutiously tended, a work described as sur-mesure or haute couture by Le Rouge & Le Blanc magazine. Preserving and increasing biodiversity as well as soils microbial activity is paramount, he aims to do a minimum of passages and treatments (bouillie bordelaise, plant infusion-decoction), and the soils are only superficially worked with disks despite the lack of water and grass competition. In 2016 Jrmie and Paul built their own cellar based between Cambayrac and Trespoux-Rassiels, ideally located within 1km radius of all parcels. After four years of struggle vinifiying in cramped conditions Jrmie knew exactly what he wanted, and thanks to his detailed approach he put together a self-sufficient and functional space that respectfully fits into the natural surroundings and landscape.
