Notes from the Importer: Laurent Herlin found his domaine in 2009. After a successful career as a computer engineer, he felt his life-long passion for wine and ecology and the Loire Valley’s Cab Franc calling. He studied in Beaune and interned in a few places before settling on a small farm in Bourgeuil with 1 hectare of Cab Franc.
Today he farms 6 ha of vineyards organically and biodynamically including a small 4 hectare clos. Soils are made of sand, gravel and clay-limestone. His wines are lively expressive like the soils they come from, and outright delicious.
