Osorno Valley, Chile

Coteaux de Trumao

Coteaux de Trumao is a small family winery located at the beginning of Patagonia. The winery is the project of 2 French brothers, Christian and Olivier Porte, who moved to Chile more than 30 years ago. At the beginning of the 2000s, these two Frenchmen embarked on an adventure and planted 2.5 hectares of Pinot noir in the Osorno Valley (in the South of Chile).

While pioneers and precursors in this region destined to livestock and cereal plantations, they created their first wine. After several vintages of making wine for their own consumption, the meeting with Louis-Antoine Luyt (young French vintner) was crucial. Adept of natural wines, Louis vinified the grapes of the Porte family and this is how Cruchon was born. Later on, under the advice of Marcel Lapierre himself, in 2009, more plots were planted, currently reaching 3 ha planted but only 1.9 in production.

Today, with the help of the current enologue, Quentin Javoy, they have the privilege of creating one of the most southern natural Pinot noir wine of Latin America!
