Estelle and Christian Chabirand acquired this 20 ha estate in 1997. On this virgin terroir, outside the appellation, they planted a 15 ha organic vineyard (Ecocert). Christian, an oenologist by training, has accumulated experience by travelling to many vineyards in France, and was awarded the Loire Trophy for Vigneron de Caractère by the Gault et Millau guide in 2017. A long maceration vinification applied on a perfect quality of grapes allows to elaborate cuvées gardes called here nicely Vins de Mémoire.

The Mercier family has been dedicated to the wine tradition since 1890. They produce AOC Fiefs Vendee wines, vins de pays du Val de Loire and a cuvée using the traditional method. The 45 ha vineyard is planted on the clay and limestone terraces on the flinty outcrop of Vix. The development of the estate is intimately linked to the activity of the wine nursery whose know-how is recognised worldwide. Thanks to this, the estate benefits from a great diversity of varieties and selections, which gives their cuvées a beautiful complexity and signs the style of their wines.
