With a 10th century chapel towering over the property to date its origin, this historic winery was churning it out for the local co-op until Englishman Graham Nutter and his French wife, Beatrice, purchased the domaine in 2001. They rehabilitated the soil with homeopathic techniques, drastically cut yields and have been producing seriously good, organically-farmed wine ever since. méthode Cousinié
