Alice and Olivier de Moor are pioneers of natural winemaking in Burgundy, based in the village of Courgis, about 7km southwest of Chablis. Both trained enologists, they founded their estate in 1989 and have since expanded to farm approximately 7 to 9 hectares across the limestone-rich terroirs of Chablis, Chitry, and Saint-Bris. Their vineyards, which include prized heritage plots such as the "Plantation 1902" Aligoté, have been certified organic since 2005 and are managed with a deep commitment to biodiversity and regenerative practices, including manual harvesting and the use of "ecological corridors". In the cellar, the De Moors practice a philosophy characterized by minimal intervention, relying on gravity-fed movements, indigenous yeasts, and long aging in neutral oak or stainless steel without fining or filtration.
