Wines and spirits Saint-Andelain

For generations, the family business has been established on the La Moynerie estate, in the heart of the Pouilly vineyard. From the 40 hectares of vineyards, situated on the hillsides overlooking the Loire, rich and harmonious wines are produced. But the jewel of the vineyard is to be found in the vines planted on the hill of Saint-Andelain, whose clay-siliceous soil gives this minerality to the excellent Pouilly-Fumé. Beautiful vintages and generous wines to discover!

Domaine Champeau covers 18 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc vines and 2 hectares of Chasselas. Franck and Guy Champeau, two cousins, are the estate's third-generation winemakers. They offer tastings of their Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire wines, as well as sales at the winery. In the small village of Saint-Andelain, opposite the church, the cellar welcomes you in a beautifully renovated barn where wooden beams, an old wine press, a wine rack and winemaker's furniture stand side by side with fine stonework. A warm and dynamic welcome.

This estate, now run by Jean-Claude and Vincent Châtelain, has been a winegrower since 1630. 30 ha are cultivated, all in Pouilly Fumé AOC, and spread over 6 of the 7 communes in the appellation. These are Tracy-sur-Loire, Pouilly-sur-Loire, Mesves-sur-Loire, Saint-Andelain, Saint-Laurent-l'Abbaye and Saint-Martin-sur-Nohain. Vinification is carried out on a terroir-by-terroir basis, at constant temperature, to produce wines of consistently high quality. As proof, they can be found on some of the region's finest tables. Group tours of the winery by prior arrangement.

Coming from a long line of winegrowers, Patrick Coulbois has been established for more than 40 years on the slopes of Saint-Andelain, particularly renowned for their flint clay soil. His vineyard produces wines with a recognised typicity, such as the cuvée "les Cocques", which is particularly representative of the "flint stone" aromas that make up the specificity of the local terroir. This cuvée, which has been distinguished many times, can be found on the best tables, particularly in London. Visit by appointment.

Present here for seven generations, this estate produces Chasselas and Sauvignon grapes in the Pouilly-sur-Loire and Pouilly Fumé appellations. Gilles Blanchet will introduce you to wines of exceptional aromatic freshness, with notes of fruit and white flowers. Know-how, tradition and respect for the vines are the watchwords here for our award-winning crus. Pouilly-Fumé won a gold medal at the Concours Agricole de Paris 2024. "Les Champs des Plantes" won a silver medal. And Pouilly-sur-Loire was awarded bronze.

Founded by Jean-Claude Dagueneau, the estate is now run by Damien, his son. The estate's vines benefit from an exceptional terroir of flint, which gives the wines a great minerality and flinty aromas. The domaine offers two main cuvées: Cuvée d'Ève - Silex Vieilles Vignes and Cuvée Terroirs. The wines are crafted with a unique sensitivity and femininity, with the women in charge of deciding whether the wine is ready for bottling. The domaine has won numerous awards and medals for the quality of its wines. Domaine des Berthiers wines can be purchased from partner wine merchants in France or from their online boutique.

Family-owned since 1686, the Landrat-Guyollot estate covers 17 hectares of rich, varied terroirs in the luminous landscapes of the Loire Valley. The estate's four cuvées - Les Binerelles, La Rambarde, Gemme Océane and Gemme de Feu - express the elegance and freshness of their wines, in which traditional viticulture reigns supreme. These creative cuvées, full of finesse, can be found on all the region's fine tables. Tasting at the winery on weekdays and by appointment at weekends.

Domaine Bonnard is a winery located in Saint-Andelain, near Pouilly-sur-Loire. The estate was purchased in 1951 by the current owner's grandfather. Today, the estate covers 10.85 hectares and produces mainly Sauvignon-based wines, with three Pouilly Fumé wines featuring different aromas and flavors. The estate also uses a Chasselas grape to produce Pouilly sur Loire and quality sparkling wine. The estate's plots benefit from a favorable climate thanks to their proximity to the Loire, and have a predominantly south-westerly exposure. Soils vary from Kimmeridgian marl to Villiers limestone and flint, giving the wines different characteristics. The estate practises traditional, reasoned cultivation, limiting the use of weedkillers and working the soil. Vinification is also traditional, using thermoregulation in the vats to extract the maximum aromas from the Sauvignon grapes. The estate has a tasting cellar and offers tours of the winery by appointment. Domaine Bonnard wines regularly win medals in national competitions and are listed in specialized guides.

Located in Saint-Andelain. The vineyards extend over 22 hectares, with flinty clay and kimmeridgian shell soils. The domaine offers a wide range of cuvées, from Blanc Fumé and Sauvignon to more complex, elegant wines. The grapes are harvested at optimum ripeness and carefully sorted before vinification in air-conditioned underground cellars. The wines are then aged in bottle in a vaulted cellar with columns. Wine enthusiasts can taste the estate's wines and enjoy the panoramic view over the Loire from the Saint-Andelain hill.
