Wine estates Loiret

Specializing in AOC Coteaux du Giennois, Jean-Claude and Cindy Millot are winegrowers from father to daughter! Jean-Claude has been harvesting by hand on 3 hectares for 40 years. The medals rewarding his passion continue to be won. His daughter, at the heart of the initiation process, continues in the same vein. You can taste the 3 colors and meet Jean-Claude and Cindy on the markets in Gien and at all the fairs in the region, intoxicated... with joy!

Small appellations are often fortunate enough to be among the best. At the Concours Général de Paris at the end of February 2024, Dominique Billereau was awarded a Silver Medal for his white 2023 vintage. Since 1982, in Ousson-sur-Loire, this seasoned winemaker has been practicing all aspects of viticulture. He has even built a delightful vaulted cellar for these tricolored nectars to rest in. This exemplary, vine-loving owner-grower has won several top prizes in wine competitions. An oenological visit is a must!

The estate's reputation has been growing ever since the Orléans Cléry and Orléans AOCs were awarded in 2006, the fruit of a battle waged for many years by the winegrowers of the Orléans region. They are thus the youngest in France. The Montigny-Piel family, present in the commune for four generations, will share with you their passion for the work of the vine. In the small Daniel Montigny museum, you'll discover over 2,000 tools of the trade: barrels, wine pumps, harrows, old ploughs and more.

Hand-picked, 3 hectares of vines, one of which is devoted to 100% Sauvignon Blanc and the other two to red (20% Gamay Noir with white juice and 80% Pinot Noir): Florian Roblin enchants the slopes of the Giennois on white and flinty clay soils. Everything is homemade and nothing is imported to accommodate the result. Rare... Only half an hour for the visit and the singing of the wine that takes you away. You will be eager to taste its generous production that stands out. Without forgetting that the Giennois hillsides have been AOC for more than sixty years.

Since 1730, the Guérot family has carved out a place for itself in the world of winegrowing. The 4-hectare estate overlooking the village of l'Étang, with its clay-limestone soil, produces red, white and rosé coteaux-du-giennois, as well as white and rosé méthode champenoise. Father and son Guérot, who take great care of their vines, produce a mellow, slightly sweet white that goes well with foie gras and desserts. All are AOC listed, and the domaine is a partner of Vignobles & Découvertes.

In the family, we have been winemaker of father in son since the th century! The Javoy respect local respect, and it is with the love of their elders that they develop their wine in the greatest tradition. They are also holders of the Terra Vitis label, which guarantees the application of a charter that respects the environment. The lobby serves as a place of tasting: we are welcome to share the fruits of their hard work: Orleans (red, white and rosé) and Orléans-Cléry (red). Sparkling are also offered, including the Pearl of Saint-Avit, one of their specialities. And the farandole of the good bottles continues with fruit alcohol based on plum fruit. What to ensure their reputation well beyond the boundaries of the region.
