Our story

Originally from the North of France, the family has moved from cereals and dairy farming to vine-growing with undiminished enthusiasm. In 2002, Hervé and Christine embarked on their winegrowing adventure out of a passion for wine. Located in the heart of the Saumur appellation, the Domaine du Moulin de l'Horizon vineyard covers 30 hectares. Cabernet Franc accounts for 50%, Chenin Blanc for 30% and Chardonnay for 20%. All three colors are represented, and bubbles are our expertise. Our clay-limestone tuffeau soils retain winter rainfall. As a result, our vines benefit from the regular water supply needed for perfect grape ripening. This characteristic is the source of our supple, fruity wines. The Moulin de l'Horizon style is singular: brightly fruity, with a savory palate and elegant ripeness.
