Our Loire Sauvignon Blanc
The adventure began in 2004 with the first wine produced being an IGP Val de Loire Sauvignon Blanc from our vineyards in Mareuil sur Cher (the estate was then called La Chardoisie and it had been bought from Mr Marc Buchet that same year). The range was subsequently expanded with a Touraine Sauvignon Blanc and later a Vin de France Sauvignon Blanc. In 2008, under the leadership of Mr de Willebois, we established the first partnerships with winegrowers from Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. Always in search of excellence, our range of wines is intended to reflect the best of the Loire. Like the intrepid river, our evolution ebbs and flows …
