Located in Touraine, between the banks of the

Cher and the Loire on clay-limestone soil, amidst

the Loire castles in Saint-Martin-Le-Beau, the

vineyard sprawls over 20 hectares.

In 2005, Xavier Weisskopf created this vineyard

which has been Organic Agriculture certified

since 2008.

The soils are worked, the harvest is by hand.

The vineyard’s wines are aged in troglodyte

cave cellars carved in the local freestone. The

grapes from each plot are pressed and vinified

separately. The wines are aged in Allier oak

barrels, stainless steel tanks, and concrete tanks

or cement egg tanks for 6 to 24 months depending

on the wine.

The vineyard’s Montlouis-sur-Loire wines are

Pétillant Naturel (ancestral method), Les Hauts de

Coulaine, Touche Mitaine, La Rochère, Le Grand

Clos, Les Vignes de Michel, Les Borderies, and

Le Grand Poirier. The vineyard also makes the

following ‘Vin de France’ wines: Chenin, Chenin

Orange, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Côt, Cabernet

Franc, Grolleau, and Rosé.
