Christelle Dubois

The Dubois Christelle estate covers 19 hectares. The king grape variety of the domain is the Cabernet Franc, it covers 16,5 hectares. The 2,5 hectares are planted in chenin. We produce Saumur Champigny wines but also Crémant de Loire and Saumur Rouge. For each vintage, the domain looks for the best balance and the greatest typicity. At the soil level, limestone and clay are the components of the diversity of our terroir. Our two grape varieties draw all their richness and opulence from them. Our wines come from vines that are 30 years old on average, the oldest ones can even reach the age of 80 years. Our domain benefits from four generations of know-how. The story begins in the 19th century with Charles Firmin Dubois. At the time, he was producing a natural red wine from the Saumur region. Charles succeeded Charles Firmin around 1930. He passed on his passion to Jean-Claude who decided to take over the estate in 1968. Jean-Claude already cultivates the vineyard while respecting the environment. As time goes by, his wine becomes more and more qualitative. The last generation arrived on the estate in 2008, with Christelle who perpetuates the spirit of the estate by combining rigor, quality and respect for the environment.
