Wine estates Vienne

Funny name for a wine estate! In the ^19th century, the people of the village used to cook their meals in the ovens dug in the tufa rock on the property. Today, it is Michaël Baudon who manages the family business. On his 28 hectares of vines, he cultivates 12 grape varieties: Gamay, Chenin, Pinot noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet franc, Sauvignon, Viognier... and Floreal. Contact him for a guided tour and end the tour with a wine tasting in the cellar. A reference domain in Haut Poitou !

Ampelidae is one of the largest producers of organic wines in the Loire Valley. The vineyards stretch across the Poitevin hills around Marigny-Brizay. The quality of these contemporary beverages is proof that the combination of organic farming, science and new technologies is possible... and works wonders. Discover PN 1328, K, S (for Sauvignon), Fié gris (the local specialty) or Blanc d'hiver. Visit Château des Roches, in Marigny-Brizay, for a visit to the boutique and a tour of the winery with wine tasting.

Oenologist at the Haut-Poitou winery for 15 years, Isabelle Bureau decided to live her passion to the full and became a winegrower. Although her six hectares of vines are located in Beaumont and Marigny-Brizay, her winery is in Ouzilly, in her barn. Her small vineyard allows her to pamper her grapes, bringing out the aromas that best reflect the terroir. Thanks to the many grape varieties grown on her plots, she produces both AOC Haut-Poitou and IGP Val de Loire wines, such as her elegant Sauvignon gris.

For four generations, the Bourdier family has been producing wine in the Haut-Poitou PDO and Val de Loire PGI. Independent winegrowers, they work as small craftsmen to offer a wine in their image, working in a reasoned manner. On their 33 hectares of vines, they produce three ranges of wine: the authentic, matured in stainless steel vats; the special vintages with the names of precious stones matured in barrels; and the traditional methods. Surrounded by the vines, you will enjoy a tasting or even, by reservation, a visit and a meal on site.

It's a jewel of our heritage, a testament to medieval architecture (^12th and ^13th centuries).

Listed as a historic monument and winner of the Heritage Lottery, the fortress stands amidst the vines. Owned by Sandra and Gilles Colinet, it is currently being restored in an eco-responsible manner. The 13-hectare vineyard is farmed organically. Its exceptional tuffeau terroir enables it to produce wines of ageing potential and character, which are expressed under the Saumur and Saumur Puy-notre-dame appellations.

Winemaker for six generations, Damien Robert perpetuates the family tradition and takes care of the Domaine du Grand Clos. After his studies, in 2003, he took over the family estate from his father. Sabrina, his wife, joined him in 2007. The estate is located in the Saumur PDO. Labeled High Environmental Value, the vines cover 30 hectares with a majority of Cabernet Franc and Chenin. The domain benefits from troglodytic cellars covering nearly 5,000 m², an ideal place for storage and preservation.

Pierre Morgeau and his sister Cécile - the^5th generation of winegrowers at the head of the estate - and their teams continue to shape a fine, fruity, terroir-driven wine. They are constantly striving to promote the quality of the Haut-Poitou appellation, while preserving their High Environmental Value certified land. Come to Beaumont to taste their wines: Sauvignon blanc, Fié gris, Gamay, Haut-Poitou rosé, Cabernet franc without sulfites. Original: an electric scooter tour of the estate.
