Anthony and Coralie Rassin are relative newcomers in the Loire Valley. Originally from Brittany they arrived in Montlouis in late 2015 after a successful first part of their career in the Rhone Valley. Les Pierres Ecrites consists of 8ha of vineyards. 5 of them planted with Chenin Blanc and the remaining with Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Grolleau and Cot. 2018 marks a new step with the move to organic viticulture. 8ha allows them to be surgically precise, especially at harvest time. Their neighbours are Jacky Blot and Francois Chidaine with whom they work together in biodynamic viticulture!
