Closeries des Moussis began in 2009 when Pascale Choime and Laurence Alias were offered to take over a

Stéphanie Théron of Clos du Jaugueyron. These two women couldn’t refuse such an opportunity: Pascale is a
trained oenologist and teacher at the Lycée Agro-Viticole de Bordeaux-Blanquefort, and Laurence is a
professional agricultural engineer who specializes in biodiversity and sustainable practices. The two of them

recently, totaling their holdings to two hectares in all. They received organic certification in 2012, and were

freshness quite rare in Bordeaux. Closeries des Moussis is certified organic (AB) as well as certified
