The de Noüe family has a long winemaking tradition in Burgundy in France, where Charles Louis de Noüe, the owner of Domaine de Vicomte de Noüe-Marinič and grandson of Christian Jacques de Clay de Nell, is a member of the family that owns the legendary Domaine Leflaive. His passion for the most authentic and prestigious terroirs for growing wine - with a preference for white wine - led him to Brda in Slovenia, where he and Slovenian partner Alis Marinič brought some abandoned vineyards back into production and rescued a rich genetic heritage with a mass selection that contributes to the complexity of the wines. The two partners cultivate their vineyards in accordance with tradition in a natural way and without the use of chemicals, working the soil and letting aromatic herbs grow in the vineyard in summer to retain moisture in the soil and protect the roots. With Maria Thun's lunar calendar, they follow the ideas and philosophy of Steiner.
The philosophy of making wine in the vineyard is shared by their consultant Anthony Colas, who looks after the most prestigious vineyards in Burgundy. Together they choose the right time for the harvest in order to harvest beautiful grapes. Everything else follows the wine with a minimum of intervention to preserve its minerality and freshness. The idea is to obtain a structured wine from the terroir, elegant and persistent on the palate, a wine capable of creating a vibration, an emotion.
Today, the estate stands behind these three brands: Domaine Vicomte de Noüe-Marinič, Erigone and Marinič.
