The domain's short story
Domaine de la Piffaudière is the story of an atypical Loire estate. Olivier, the winemaker, has been running an 8-hectare vineyard on the slopes of the Cher Valley in Monthou since 2008. Olivier is something of a winegrower's goldsmith, making precise, unique wines using organic viticulture methods. The Loire winemaker methodically produces wines from blends of diverse grape varieties such as Chenin Noir, Cot, Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Chenin. All these efforts are guided by his guiding principle: "to produce zero-defect wines". The work we do at La Piffaudière is the work of passionate people. I try to craft my cuvées with as much precision as possible to offer delicate and exceptional tasting experiences. The golden rule is to ban all chemical inputs to reveal the full subtlety of the soil. The natural wines show a beautiful maturity and a particular balance that sets them apart from wines produced by traditional viticulture. Nature, at the heart of everything, offers its best elixirs to delight our taste buds: this is the magic of the Loire terroirs. These wines are quality products to be offered to all your guests, whether or not they are initiated to natural wines. You'll leave this experience convinced!
