The wine-grower : Jean Claude Roux
After alternating jobs in agriculture with long travels to satisfy my thirst for adventure, I settled in 1986 next to the family farm in the Centre region.
I produced cereals while taking care of a herd of sheep. A few years later, I created with a friend a pick-your-own strawberries activity.
In 1994, with the efficient help of my wife, I launched out on viticulture.
Our first 1995 vintage wine won a silver medal in Mâcon and a second one in Blaye.
With 1.5 acres oy vineyards, we fast felt cramped. Today, we run 7.5 acres of AOC Quincy vineyards.
The adventure is going on ... In 2010, to complete our range with red and rosé wines, we bought 3.3 acres of vineyards in Châteaumeillant.
