Alcide Monmousseau founded a fine wine business in Montrichard (Loir-et-Cher) in one of the largest chalky rock quarries, the stone of the area.
This quarry, abandoned after it had been quarried for building the Loire Chateaux, offered him the finest cellars for wine making which a wine connoisseur could dream about: 15 km of underground cellars, sound with hardly varying temperatures of 12°C, summer and winter. Besides the humidity inside is ideal for making and storing wines.
