Château des Quarts was created in 2012 through a joint partnership
between Dominique Lafon and Olivier Merlin.
For over a decade, Olivier had tasked himself with sourcing and making
wine from the best sites within Pouilly-Fuissé and bottling them under
his own label. After buying grapes from Clos des Quarts for several
vintages, he was one of the first approached with the news that it was
for sale. Having been already convinced of the terroir's integrity
he jumped on the opportunity.
The vineyard is located in Chaintré, the southernmost village of Pouilly
Fuissé. At just over 2 hectares, the oldest vines are almost a century old
and are planted on clay-limestone soils.
