"A bond is created with them" Baptiste Zunino
Since Grandpa Louis...
A tradition and passion for horses handed down from generation to generation
At the heart of Le Clos Coquet's winemaking traditions, our three draft horses Far West, Dino and Coco horses occupy a special place, reflecting the Zunino family's deep passion for these noble animals. These horses are more than just companions; they are central to the estate's farming methods, used by the family to plouhg and work the vineyardsThis respects the terroir and limits the use of machinery that could compact the soil.
This practice, inherited from their grandfather, who already shared this love of horses, is a pillar of their philosophy of sustainable and attentive viticulture. This deep bond with draught horses is also celebrated through the logo of the estatewhich symbolizes the harmony between nature, the animal and the winemaker. It is this fusion of tradition and passion that defines the essence of Clos Coquet, making each bottle the fruit of respectful and passionate work.
