Family wine estate, created in 1948 and located in the Loire Valley, near the The Atlantic Ocean, in the Nantes vineyard.
In 1980 Gérard took over from his father and today Laurence and Gérard continue the family tradition and cultivate 55 hectares of vines in sustainable agriculture (HVE and TERRA VITIS) in the communes of La Haye-Fouassière and Château Thébaud in the historical heart of the AOC Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation.
Our working philosophy is based first of all on the quality of our soils. We adapt our work to the plot of land according to the differences in the soil. Thus, each of our wines develops its identity and its character. All our wines are harvested, vinified, bottled, and marketed by us in modern wineries and in the respect of traditions and the environment.
Our Muscadets are appreciated all over the world, from the United States to Japan and Europe, and of course in France by individuals, some wine merchants, and restaurants. Our rigorous work and our passion for our profession allow us to offer you a unique range of Muscadets.
Our grape variety
We grow a unique grape variety composed of 100% Melon de Bourgogne on a
terroir of schists, michaschists, amphibolites, gneiss and orthogneiss. The
oceanic climate and this alliance of rocks make it an ideal terroir for the
production of fresh, well-balanced, aromatic, and long-keeping Muscadets.
