About this winery

Following his varied experiences at different estates, including in South Africa and with Julien Zernott at Domaine du Pas de l’Escalette, Antoine then returned to the family estate, Château de Maupas, with his father, Joseph Van Remoortere, who has been established in Morogues, a small commune in Cher, since 1989. This young winemaker now cultivates four hectares in the same commune under the Menetou-Salon appellation.

1 (Vintage 2023)

Le rouge joue aussi dans ce registre de sincérité. Le 2023 sent bon le pinot noir mûr, les notes de griotte, de poivre. Son jus pimpant et généreusement fruité nous met en appétit. Profitez-en dans sa prime jeunesse.
