Domaine des Hauts Baigneux

Philippe Mesnier and myself, Nicolas Grosbois, took over this estate in 2012. We work the terroirs of Azay le Rideau, Cheillé, Saché and Vallère. The surface area of the estate is about 11 ha. It is divided as follows: 9 ha on a clay-limestone terroir and the remaining 2 ha are in Saché, under the Calder workshop, on a magnificent flinty clay terroir planted with Chenin blanc. We produce the two colours authorised by the Touraine Azay le Rideau appellation, i.e. white and rosé. We also produce red wine in the Touraine appellation on these same soils. Finally we produce natural sparkling wine in white and rosé.

The hazards of life have made the young winemaker see the potential of these vines develop year after year. The Domaine des Hauts Baigneux was born.
