Montlouis sur Loire, Loire

Before embarking on his winemaking career in 2001, Frantz worked as a forest ranger in Canada and France.

Then, as mentioned, in 2001, he was struck on the road to MontLouis and decided to buy a small plot of 3 hectares of vineyard.

Since then Frantz has established himself as one of the best producers in the entire Loire, doubling the hectares of his property, now 6 and significantly refining the production technique, now truly enviable but still with a natural and scarcely interventionist approach.
