Winery: Marie and Vincent Tricot 

Marie and Vincent Tricot embody a new generation of Auvergne vignerons who are bringing this corner of the Loire back to the forefront of the wine landscape.Born in Anjou, Vincent Tricot left the Loire and attended the oenology school in Beaujolais in the early 1990s.After graduating, he remained in the region and apprenticed in Brouilly for winemaker Patrick Coton. Around this time he met Marcel Lapierre and many other winemakers who were beginning to draw attention to their non-interventionist style of winemaking. Vincent was moved by their wines and quickly decided this was the way for him.Vincent and Marie met while working for a large domaine in the Costières de Nîmes.Marie comes from a family of vignerons in Beaujolais. Together, in 2002, they moved with their two daughters to the village of Orcet in Auvergne. The decision to come to the region was purely financial; they could afford to buy vineyard land in Auvergne. They bought 4.5 ha of certified organic vines and planted another 0.6 ha.In 2003 the family produced their first cuvee 'Les Marcottes'. They currently grow Gamay, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc and hope to plant more vines in the coming years.As a demonstration of the great love and respect that this couple has for their territory, every week they organize a market of artisanal products from the area on their property, obviously including their wines. We are talking about two true producers, bold and with character, as well as the wines they produce.
