DOMAINE THEULOT JUILLOT, A FEMININE TRANSMISSION

The family wine estate Theulot Juillot, created in the 2000s, was originally operated by Emile Juillot, then his wife Marguerite passed the farm to his granddaughter in 1987. This transmission by women is unusual, even rare in the wine sector, and this is what makes Domaine Theulot Juillot unique of its kind. Today, the granddaughter Nathalie Juillot is supported by her husband Jean-Claude Theulot to manage this estate of 12 hectares bearing their respective names.

Theulot Juillot wines are also bred in oak barrels.
