The domain's short story
L'histoire d'Eric is the story of a globetrotter from Chinon who returned to his roots to make true Loire wines! After working in wine export and promotion in France and Dubai, Eric Santier decided to become a winemaker in his forties. After training in Bordeaux and gaining valuable experience with other winemakers, he took over Domaine Dozon. The 14-hectare estate is located at Saut au Loup in Ligré, on the left bank of the Vienne, in the Chinon appellation. Spread over two types of soil, clay-siliceous at the top of the slopes and clay-limestone at the bottom, the single vineyard faces south-southeast. Owned by the DOZON family for 5 generations, the estate was taken over by Eric Santier in 2013.
