Charles-Louis de Noüe

The Climb

Since 2019, Charles-Louis de Noüe has been chief of Domaine Vicomte de Noüe-Marinič, and that date marks the start of his present tenure at the estate. The role places him in direct responsibility for the property: to oversee it, interpret it, and carry its identity forward without flattening its character. The progression here is measured rather than theatrical, defined by settled authority and the continuity that comes with keeping a domain legible from one season to the next. Since 2019, he has held the position from which the estate is directed.

Today

Today, Charles-Louis remains chief at Domaine Vicomte de Noüe-Marinič in Kojsko, Slovenia, with ownership part of the same brief. That pairing gives the work a particular weight. He is not only connected to the estate; he is bound to it in both administrative and material terms, as custodian and owner. Kojsko frames that relationship, reinforcing a sense of continuity in which the daily requirements of the domain and the longer view of its future are kept in balance.

Signature

Charles-Louis’s signature dishes include Sotto la Chiesa, Tejca, Groblja, and Zala Malvasia. Taken together, the names signal a practice built on specificity rather than display. Each one registers as its own point of reference, and the set reads like an internal geography: distinct markers that shape the estate’s identity through naming alone. Zala Malvasia carries particular resonance within the group, while Sotto la Chiesa, Tejca, and Groblja hold their place with the same restraint.

In Their Words “The whole classification of Maria Theresa is by village.”
