Anecdotes about the domain
My main mission is my adaptability and my ability to adapt to the physical and climatic constraints of the domain. Indeed, the depth of the vines at the bottom of the hillside is 3.5m, no less! My ability to constantly question myself and thus reveal all the expression of the terroir through the vintages we produce results in a better vintage year after year. Hence my determination to offer you wines from entirely organic parcels.
The domain's short story
Nicolas Grosbois comes from several generations of winemakers, so it was only natural that he took over from his father in 2008. The estate is spread over 13 different plots, each more unique than the other. This mosaic of terroirs makes for a remarkable wine. The soils are either clayey-siliceous or clayey-limestone with a depth varying from 30cm to more than 3m. The terroir gives very different styles to the wines depending on the different plots. The wines from the lower slopes are fruity and tasty, while those from the upper slopes are powerful and structured.
The winemaker's pride
The estate is located in Panzoult, a village a few kilometres from Chinon. We produce exclusively red Chinon. We strive to work all our vines in respect of nature in organic viticulture certified by the ECOCERT organization.
