Jean-Marc Biet

Julie and Jean-Marc's family estate covers about 36 hectares in Seigy, in the Loire Valley. 40 kilometers from Blois and its castles, on the left bank of the Cher, the winegrower produces in the Touraine appellation. At the domain, located not even 500 meters from the Beauval zoo, don't be surprised to hear roars and other animals! The vines of Domaine Biet are planted on hillsides with clay-limestone soil. They are rather old for the average in the region since they are 60 years old! Jean-Marc and Julie are committed to respecting the environment in which they work: no chemicals in the vineyard and cultivation of the soil between the rows. Without being at the top of technology, they use the new machines while practicing the gestures learned from their elders, and this for four generations. The result? The domain is labeled Terra Vitis and High Environmental Value level 3. The history of the domain begins in the 30's, with a family of farmers and winemakers, originally from Berry, who settled here in Seigy. We are fortunate to have inherited an agricultural and viticultural know-how, which is not the case for all winegrowers. In the 1980's, my father Jean-Marc and my mother Lydia took over the reins and continued to develop the private clientele and the export on some markets. Our way of working in the vineyards is more and more close to our environment. With the tastings done in the cellar, you can now stay in our guest house, in the heart of the Domaine. You will be in the family house, which has seen the birth of generations of winegrowers. The house has been completely renovated by my mother, Lydia. The winemaker, today, is me: Julie! I continue the adventure with my father. One day I said to myself "why not me?", so after several experiences in the wine business, in France and abroad, I came back to the Domaine as a winemaker! With my father, we are a team. We have learned to work together and we share our know-how."
