The wines of Frères Soulier
Natural wines in the GardGuillaume and Charles Soulier from Gard are young and talented. A Winery located between Avignon and Nîmes. In 2015, they produced 10,000 bottles. White, rosé, red and a hundred bottles of Cartagena to "make the terroir speak"! A sunny year that worked for them; balanced, elegant natural wines with a je-ne-sais-quoi of difference, their signature perhaps. Not even thirty years old, they settled in Saint-Hilaire d'Ozilhan in the Gard in 2014. Sons of winegrowers, they embarked on the adventure on the land that saw them grow up by buying 4 ha of their father's property, 2 ha from other winegrowers in the village and another 2 ha in plantation (2015 and 2016). They are sure to have a nice terroir in hand, on limestone scree slopes facing West and Northwest. As well as 2 ha of large, very siliceous pebbles, the two brothers set out, after a few trips to Burgundy and the Languedoc. The Frères Soulier, complementary and passionateAt Winery, they are perfectly complementary. Guillaume, a landscape gardener by training, spends a lot of time in the vineyards. Mulching, putting the vines on stakes, taking care of the vines... |
And Charles, a former business school student, determined to work with his hands rather than in an office at La Défense. Working the soil with horses, sheep in the vineyards...In the vineyard, 80% of the soil work is done by horse. The Frères Soulier work only the foot of the vine, the in-between rows are grassed and never ploughed. The herds of sheep and goats take care of the natural weeding. They apply certain biodynamic preparations but do not make a religion of it. They work much more with common sense. The future of Winery lies in young vines planted from the first year with old non-cloned grape varieties (counoise, picardan, terret noir, muscardin, vacaresse). In the cellar, it's "no control", not to do nothing on principle, but so that they force themselves to be ever more rigorous in viticulture. A pair to follow closely. |
