APPELLATION :
Extending over 35 hectares, Domaine de la Paleine is resolutely committed to an organic farming approach. This year, they decided to go further by moving on to biodynamics and horseback riding on the Saumur Champigny plots. Also oriented towards wine tourism, they entrusted a local craftsman with the task of building a cabin tower, "Milady" in homage to Paul Morand and his novel located in Saumur...
Anecdotes about the domain
We are present in the Loire Valley with the Domaine de la Paleine, but we are also winemakers in Saint-Emilion with the Château de Pasquette. We like these two regions very much and we find in Saint-Emilion the typical limestone soils of Puy-Notre-Dame and especially the Cabernet franc.
The domain's short story
We have opened a tasting cellar in Montsoreau in order to get closer to our customers. Many tourists stop in Montsoreau which is a charming village on the banks of the Loire. A few years ago, we also decided to entrust a local craftsman with the task of building us a cabin tower, "Milady" in homage to Paul Morand and his novel located in Saumur. This allows us to offer our customers tastings on the Loire.
The winemaker's pride
Domaine de la Paleine covers 35 hectares, 32 of which are in production and 3 in young plantations. This is an estate that has resolutely committed itself to an organic farming approach. Our main grape varieties are Chenin for Whites and Cabernet Franc for Reds. We have also planted Pinot Noir, Grolleau gris and Chardonnay, which we use mainly for bubble wines. We have also turned to wine tourism, with a presence in Montsoreau, on the banks of the Loire.
