Tasteful sustainably farmed wines from
the Loire Valley

Freshness, purity, minerality, elegance… Loire Wines have it all!
Our mission is to promote and showcase their natural expression and identity.

The family farms and wine grower artisans we selected to handcraft our wines are deeply committed to sustainable farming and a mix of traditional and innovative winemaking practices. We couldn’t have made it possible without them! All of their grapes are curated from the healthiest, tastiest and most appropriate vine crops each season, so once they hit the barrels, they do their own magic with minimal intervention, no added sugars and no added sulfites. A soulful terroir-based wine experience to share with your family and friends.

OUR WINES

CENTRE

Home to the most refined Sauvignon Blanc

The Upper Loire Valley (or Centre Loire) is the smallest region, but it’s home to the most famous Loire appellations–Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé. The Sauvignon Blanc from these two areas are emulated throughout the wine world. The two towns of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire (where Pouilly-Fumé is made) sit on opposite sides of the Loire river with Sancerre being about 10 miles to the northwest of Pouilly. Centre is closest to the source of the Loire River in the Massif Central Mountains and the majority of the vineyards are found along the river where they take advantage of its temperature moderating influence. The soils vary quite a bit with three distinct soil types, all found atop a base of Kimmeridgian Limestone, (the same as Chablis, parts of Champagne, and the white cliffs of Dover):

CHINON

Pure expression of Cabernet Franc

This is the appellation covering wines produced around the historic town of Chinon, in the central Loire Valley. The confluence of the Loire and Vienne rivers marks the start of mild Atlantic conditions. The oceanic climate sweeps through the two valleys, reaching the most distant hillsides and terraces. Slopes are oriented east to west, enjoying excellent, sunny southern exposures; the microclimate is ideal for growing Cabernet Franc. The soils there can be divided roughly into three key types.

MUSCADET

Oceanic expression of Melon de Bourgogne

The Muscadet region is located at the westernmost edge of the Loire Valley near the city of Nantes. It takes its name from the two rivers flowing through the vineyards: the Sèvre Nantaise and the Maine. Soils are composed by a varied structure of igneous and metamorphic rock from the Massif Armoricain, made up mainly of gneiss and mica schist, with smaller quantities of green-stone and granite. It benefits from a temperate oceanic climate, with precipitation evenly spread throughout the year. There are variations in climate from one end of the region to the other caused by the varying distances from the coast, the Loire or other bodies of water.
The Muscadet wines are often bottled sur lie straight from the tank that they are fermented in without any racking or filtering. This creates wines that can be very cloudy and require decsenting to remove sediments but also produces wines that can be fuller bodied and show extra dimensions of freshness.

ANJOU

Country of Wines and Roses

The Anjou region of the Middle Loire is situated around the town of Angers and is known primarily for the rosé wines based on the Grolleau and Cabernet franc, including the Rosé d’Anjou and the Cabernet d’Anjou. The temperate oceanic climate there, mainly dry with minor variations in temperature, brought the proverbial “douceur angevine” – the mild tranquility of Anjou.

The appellation area comprises two distinct regions: Anjou Noir, or ‘Anjou sur Schistes’ on the dark, schist based soil of the south-eastern edge of the Massif Armoricain,- the larger of the areas; and Anjou Blanc, or ‘Anjou sur Tuffeau,’ a smaller area of lighter-colored soils – altered chalk (tuffeau) at the south western extremity of the Paris Basin.

TOURAINE & VOUVRAY

Purity of Chenin Blanc

The region around Vouvray and Touraine has some of the most diverse plantings of all the Loire region and makes a wide variety of white, red and rosé wines. For white wines, the main grape is Chenin blanc but Sauvignon blanc and, to a smaller extent, Chardonnay are also planted. For red wines the main grape is Gamay with some smaller plantings of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. The rosé wines are made from an assortment of Gamay, Pineau d’aunis, Pinot gris and Pinot noir.
Soils range from chalk, sand, gravel, clay and limestone pebbles. The most notable soil type is tuffeau (chalk), a pourous limestone soil that contributes to the zesty acidity found in the grapes of Touraine. The village of Vouvray is one of the largest appellations in the region and makes white wines from Chenin blanc.
