The domain was founded in 1989 by François with a few hectares in Montlouis-sur-Loire. He approaches the specific vineyards as unique terroirs and was early on convinced of their magic and richness. Organic certification followed quickly in 1992, and biodynamic certification in 1999. Today, the domain covers 37 ha of vineyards, with 20 ha of Chenin Blanc in Montlouis-sur-Loire, 10 ha of Chenin Blanc in Vouvray, and the remaining 7 ha are planted with Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, Grolleau, Cabernet Franc, Côt, and Pineau d’Aunis in the Touraine.
Description: Pure with pear, white flowers, it is fleshy, structured, saline, and has body.
Pairs well with: Pan-fried white fish, BBQ langoustines.
Fun fact: The Chenin grape in the Loire is comparable to the great Riesling: both find their strength in aromatic expression and both have that captivating tension between sweet and sour.
