Producer profile

Les Cailloux du Paradis

At Les Cailloux du Paradis, a renowned winemaking legacy continues to flourish under the stewardship of Etienne Courtois, following the foundational work of his father, Claude Courtois. As Claude embraces the elder statesman role, he now focuses on crafting the Racines cuvées, a testament to his deep-rooted expertise. Meanwhile, Etienne has taken the helm for most of the production, ushering in a new era marked by meticulous precision and innovation in winemaking, reminiscent of the approach Baptiste Cousin has applied to his father Olivier's vineyards.

Etienne, representing a vibrant new generation of vintners, brings a fresh perspective to the traditional processes, upholding the family's commitment to natural wine production. This involves minimal interventionist techniques and an adherence to organic principles that ensure the vitality of the soil and surrounding ecosystem. The vineyard is a diverse landscape where biodiversity is encouraged, and the vines coexist with various plant species and wildlife, enhancing their wines' ecological balance and unique character.

The winemaking philosophy at Les Cailloux du Paradis is deeply intertwined with patience and respect for nature, with wines often undergoing extended aging in barrels to achieve their full potential. This methodological dedication ensures that each vintage embodies the natural expression of terroir, characterized by purity and a distinctive minerality.
