Beatriz Papamija produces amazing wines within the AOC Chinon Rouge from 4 hectares of family-owned, old Cabernet Franc vines (55-90 years old). She and her husband, Étienne Le Blanc, took over the vineyard in 2018. The couple, along with their three children, live in a tiny house while preparing to renovate the abandoned mansion and the winery on the estate.
The vineyard is situated directly in front of the estate.
Their life is an honest, humble, rustic one with a profound connection to nature, filled with endless hard labor. They use biodynamic practices in the vineyard and follow a no-intervention approach in the winery, meaning nothing is added or removed from the wine. All processes, including gentle destemming, are carried out manually. The wines are aged partly in concrete tanks, partly in old oak barrels, and amphorae.
