As a teenager, Simon Tardieux began working in the vines at a famous organic domaine called Clos Roche Blanche. After university and a short stint as a social worker, he decided to return to Thésée and get back to viticulture. In 2009, Simon teamed up with his neighbor Alain Courtault, who had been farming organically since 1998, but was still selling most of his harvest off to the local co-op. Together, they created a range of simple, drinkable wines that showcase the best of French farming, and a decade later, they are bottling all of their grapes.
Les Parcs vineyard is the coolest hillside vineyard in the village of Thésée, located on the right bank of the Cher. Composed of clay-limestone terroir, the vineyards selected for this cuvée showcase a fully ripe Sauvignon Blanc, which is fruit-forward and mineral-driven at the same time.
