HOW THEY GOT HERE
Domaine Les Justices was born in 2018 in the Loire Valley when Sophie and Clément Maire‑Kurdziel, both oenology graduates from Montpellier, found an old massal‑selection Cabernet Franc vineyard planted in 1947 at the lieu‑dit Les Justices (Indre‑et‑Loire).
Drawn to that parcel’s quality and character, they committed to organic farming and minimal winemaking interventions to let the terroir speak clearly through the wines.
In 2019 they added grapes from Boutifolle in Saumur‑Champigny (Cabernet Franc & Cabernet Sauvignon) to make Petite Folle, and in 2020–2021 expanded their project to include parcels in Turquant and Saint‑Cyr‑en‑Bourg, yielding new cuvées such as a natural pétillant rosé (Justices Sauvages), a crisp Chenin Blanc (Juste) and a fresh Saumur‑Champigny red called La Bamboche.
They ferment with indigenous yeasts, hand‑harvested fruit, minimal technology and low SO₂, and vinify plot by plot to preserve nuance and old‑vine intensity.
