Christophe Monget
The Côteaux du Giennois is a small appellation just north of Pouilly Fumé on the way to Auxerre, producing tiny quantities of wine across its 200 hectares of clay-limestone terrain. Here, Christophe Monget and his cousin manage 23 hectares of family vineyards that were once planted with grains and occupied by cattle. With a passion for wine and polycultural farming, the family dedicated their entire property and historic 300 year old stone barns to viticulture and winemaking. The domaine is committed to natural farming methods and is a proud member of Terra Vitis, a group who eschews the use of chemical agents in favor of biological methods.
