Mas Coutelou - Jeff Coutelou
Puimisson - Languedoc
Jean François Coutelou (Jeff for short) runs his family’s domaine in Puimisson a few kilometres from Beziers on France’s mediterrenean coast.
The farm has been certified organic since 1987 and disturbed by the monoculture of modern farming Jeff has planted thousands of trees amongst his vineyards transforming the 20 hectares of the farm to 13 planted with vines and the rest with olives, figs, almonds…
The soils, varied but predominantly chalky- clay, are worked manually so as not to compress them too much and the treatments are as plant based as possible.
The vineyards themselves are planted with many varieties ; Syrah, Grenache, Carignan, Cinsault, Mourvèdre, for the reds, Sauvignon blanc, grenache blanc et gris, carignan blanc, macabéo, muscat petits grains and Alexandrie for the whites, giving Jeff the most extraordinary palette to create his wines which unusually for the region are incredibly refreshing, drinkable wines that deserve contemplation. We can’t get enough of them.
