An intense nose of black fruit, spices, violet and liquorice... Palate: an intense wine, clear, fruity and enveloping, with a long finish. His cuvées and terroirs have grown in shape and precision.
Aurélien Houillon
Charlotte and Aurélien Houillon… their name may ring a bell! Aurélien is none other than the brother of Emmanuel Houillon, and like him was initiated into the secrets of the vine and natural wine by Pierre Overnoy, and took part in the adventure of his famous Pupillin estate. The savoir-faire instilled in him would then be put into practice elsewhere and upon other grape varieties, notably while working in Switzerland for a time. It was finally in Provence that, in 2017, Charlotte and Aurélien decided to take up the challenge of settling on a 9-hectare estate at the foot of Mont Ventoux. Today, the couple makes wines there in keeping with the principles of Jules Chauvet (no additives, respect for the grapes and vineyard life). As for the result in the bottle – powerful cuvées (such is the nature of the terroir), yet with ever-present fruit flavours… no questions about it, this young vigneron went to the right school!
