Coming from the North of France, the Desgrousilliers family switched from growing cereals and dairy farming to growing vines and wine making. Ever since 2002, we cultivate our parcels with full enthousiasm. Our parcel called "La Butte" is the highest peak in Loire Valley (120m of altitude) located in the midst of the Saumur region. The sister/brother duo, Justine and Joffrey, took over their parents, Hervé and Christine, and are now co-managing the estate, specialized in sparkling wine, most specifically "Fine Bubbles". The 32 ha estate has been labelled High Environmental Value (HEV) level 3 since 2018. We always aime to reduce our environmental impact everyday and within the company : 

1) We have been sowing plants to use it as vegetal covers for 6 years, protecting and nurishing our soils, and boosting the biodiversity in the parcels.

2) Our boxes are re-usable. We get them back from our clients and partners.

3) 90% of our bottles are also re-usable. We collect the empty bottles, specified for re-use, send them to a company that will wash and store them, and then we receive new and/or re-used bottles to continue the cycle.

Wines in Moulin de l'Horizon are quite special : refreshing and aromatic, full of flavour and an elegant maturity. All is the result of the slow but progressive development of our expertise from the vines to the winery. All our wines are grown, vinified, blended and bottled with our care, the true prowess of an Independant Winegrower.
