Presentation
Presentation
"I set up the domaine in August 2020 when I finished my studies.
Today, I farm the equivalent of 4 hectares in the Chinon appellation.
I use organic farming methods and work with natural winemaking, using as few inputs as possible.
Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc are the grape varieties I use for my wines.
I attach particular importance to respecting the living organisms in the soil, and I rely on auxiliary fauna to regulate the ecosystem of my vines: the planting of hedges and controlled grassing enables me to achieve this objective."
