A WOMEN’S ESTATE FOR THREE CENTURIES
The Hautecour estate has been owned by women since 1649. Over time, the vines were passed down to their children Louise, Julie-Pauline, Adèle, Blanche, Ernestine, Théodora… Following the precedent set by her forebears, the current estate owner Coraline de Wurstemberger manages the estate now known as Les Dames de Hautecour. She greets guests and visitors with simplicity, hospitality and humour. Her daughter Camille also lives on the estate.
Winemaker Quentin and oenologist Claude make a strong team responsible for the work of the estate, putting their talents to work on a daily basis to produce delicate wines.
Coraline is a founding member of the association "Les Artisanes de la Vigne et du Vin" and the women winemakers fair "DiVINes !".
Théodora de Salis was the grand dame of Hautecour. Known as Dora, she acquired the estate’s residence, a former communal bakery. She passed her love of the vines on to her granddaughter Coraline, to whom she represents a constant source of inspiration.
