The blend of Groslot and Cabernet Franc results in an elegant wine, thanks to aging in underground ceramic vats. This process highlights the purity and finesse of the wine’s natural aromas, which are preserved without filtration or the addition of sulfites. The distinctive clay-loam terroir, enriched with shell-rich faluns, contributes to a unique mineral structure, resulting in a wine of great complexity.

Les Grandes Vignes Estate
In Anjou, the Vaillant family has been running Domaine Les Grandes Vignes using biodynamic methods for many years. The vineyard is primarily planted with Chenin and Cabernet Franc, the region’s signature grape varieties, which are cultivated with a constant focus on soil balance and the vitality of the vines.
The vineyards surrounding Thouarcé feature diverse terroirs, which the estate interprets through precise winemaking techniques, sometimes carried out without the addition of sulfur. The white wines exhibit natural depth and a measured tension, with the fruit retaining a restrained yet distinct character. The reds emphasize supple structures and a smooth texture, achieved through controlled extraction.
The wines are crafted with restraint, with the aim of preserving the terroir’s direct expression and the clarity of their profiles. The estate’s entire production is characterized by great consistency, offering wines that are true to their origins and consistent in their expression over time
