Grown out of a living and respected soil, they defy convention and assert their personality in fond and sincere notes.

Our harvests are manual, our gentle and natural vinifications preserve the richness of our grapes without artifice or embellishment..

Our young wines are supple and fruity, our more mature, fleshier cuvées offer generous flavors on silky tannins.

Our ORGANIC wines are certified ECOCERT FR-BIO-01

8 rare and venerable grape varieties of TOURAINE

Our family estate is located in the Vallée des Rois, our vineyard is on the first hills on the left bank of the Cher. Our silico-clay soils are renowned for producing wines of beautiful aromatic finesse.

We grow 8 traditional grape varieties of TOURAINE : 

Orbois, Chenin, Sauvignon Blanc, Fié Gris

Gamay, Cabernet franc, Côt and Pineau d'Aunis.

Some are of high patrtimonial value:

our hundred-year-old Côts planted in the provignage,

our Pineaux d'Aunis, today so rare in our valley, 

our Orbois and Chenin, a prephylloxeric co-plantation, planted before 1890.
