KUTQUE
A Symphony of Craft and Soil
Rooted in a legacy spanning 6,100 years, Areni Sev is more than a grape; it’s the soul of Armenian winemaking, embodying the essence of an enigmatic and bountiful land where history and terroir intertwine.
Kutque emerges from the heart of Vayots Dzor, where the Areni-1 cave stands as a testament to the origins of winemaking.
Sedimentary rocks, volcanic soil, high altitudes, and a semi-desert climate give Vayots Dzor wines a unique character, reflecting the land’s rugged beauty and resilience.
Home to the Areni-1 cave, the oldest known winery, spanning over 6,100 years.
The Armenian solar system symbol, representing the endless cycles of life, echoes through our biodynamic approach, honoring tradition while embracing the rhythms of nature.
Kutque was born from the meeting of two kindred spirits: Areg Khojoyan, deeply connected to Armenia’s winemaking heritage, and Jean-Michel Comme, a visionary in biodynamic practices from France.
Inspired by the ancient Armenian solar system, Kutque wines honor the cycles of nature, crafting a legacy that balances innovation with the essence of Armenian terroir.
Each bottle of Kutque reflects their commitment to the harmony between nature, heritage, and the future, and Armenia’s ancient spirit thrives in every sip.
Kutque’s biodynamic approach respects each stage of winemaking, following nature’s rhythms, ebbs, and flows to create wines that are truly in harmony with the land.
We depend on natural rainfall alone, encouraging our vines to grow deep roots that absorb the character of the subsoils.
During harvest, we handpick our grapes at peak ripeness, guided by the cycles of the moon and sun, to capture the fullest, truest expression of the Areni Sev grape.
Inspired by ancient Armenian methods, we use concrete karas for fermentation and aging, allowing the wine to breathe and develop complexity.
Finally, our wines are bottled with care, sealing in the essence of Vayots Dzor. Each bottle of Kutque captures the story of the land, the vineyard, and the journey from vine to wine.
