The origins of our estate date back to 1677, when Edme Corty laid the foundations for a small estate in Pouilly. For his part, André Moreux purchased his first vineyard in 1702, but on the other side of the Loire, in Sancerre. Neither of them could have imagined that their love of wine and the land would span more than 300 years of history and be passed down through twelve generations!
These origins therefore explain our presence today in
the Pouilly-Fumé appellation, more specifically in Les Loges, and in the
Sancerre appellation in Chavignol. These two appellations, the world’s leading producers of Sauvignon Blanc,
were united in 1955 through the marriage of Jeannine Corty and
Raymond Moreux, direct descendants of Edme and André. Their parents
gave them a 4.5-hectare vineyard, ‘La
Loge Aux Moines’, as a wedding present.
Today, this wonderful story continues with their sons, Arnaud and
Julien Moreux, who have been working at the family estate
since 2009 and 2011 respectively.
In every bottle from the Patrice Moreux vineyards, you will taste, above all, a passion, a mastery of the craft, a constant quest for authenticity, and a philosophy where nature reigns supreme, leaving no room for any chemical processing or the use of external yeasts. Fermentation is natural and our wines are produced with the utmost respect for the terroirs.
The “Domaine Patrice Moreux” Pouilly-Fumé is a subtle blend of three terroirs, mainly situated around the wine-growing village of Les Loges and its surroundings. The finesse of the Caillotes, the vigour of the flint and the richness of the clay-limestone terroirs lend the Pouilly-Fumé ‘Domaine Patrice Moreux’ an elegance that gives it its distinctive character and personality.
