Our wines

Organic and living wines in the Cher Valley

We work with 8 Touraine grape varieties, some of which have become very rare today. We take the greatest care of it.

Our harvests are manual, our vinification gentle and natural,

on endogenous flora and without filtration.

Variations in pure grape varieties or blending games, our wines are created according to the character of the vintage, their grapes and their material.
