Since its foundation in 1875, the Domaine, located in the heart of the Vouvray appellation has grown with five generations, thus steadily expanding from 5 to 33 hectares. Thanks to the family’s structure, the Vigneau-Chevreau family has succeeded by ensuring the domaine’s lasting quality by expanding it, modernising it, taking the means to pass it on to the successive generations, and enabling purchases like the historical vineyard of Marmoutier Abbey, the cradle of Vouvray appellation wines. The 33 acres of the domaine are located in 4 out of the 8 villages which make up the appellation surface, thus giving complexity and intensity to its wines thanks to the quality of its land and its orientation. In 1995 the Domaine converted to very strict biodynamic agriculture – they are one of two such producers in all of Vourvray. The aging of their wines takes place in their deep limestone cave.
