After having started in the family estate as a farm worker, Francois decided, in 1989, to settle with a few hectares of vineyards in Montlouis-sur-Loire. Convinced from the beginning of the richness of the terroir he exploits specifically each plot and multiplies the cuvées. Aware of having in my hands a unique natural heritage, it is also in this spirit that I became interested in the cultivation of the vine in organic farming, then biodynamic. The estate has grown step by step. In 1999, there were 17 hectares. The following year, his wife, Manuela, joined him to open the tasting cellar of the “La Cave Insolite” estate on the banks of the Loire in Montlouis. In the 2000s, he took over vineyards in Vouvray. Now the domain spans the Loire by exploiting about ten hectares in this appellation located on the north bank of the river.
The white chenin is his raw material, but the acquisition in 2006 of a few plots in Chissay, under the name Touraine, allows him to honour other essential grape varieties of the Cher valley.
A blend of Gamay, Grolleau & Pinot Noir. This delicious rosé is a real stunner, and not your run-of-the-mill offering. Produced from estate-grown, biodynamically farmed vineyards nestled just above the Cher river in the Loire Valley in limestone soil, the mineral quality is the thread that ties all this juiciness together. Strawberry, sour cherry, a perfect mid-season watermelon with spritzes of citrusy acidic goodness.
