This is a family estate occupying some prime real estate in the Loire Valley, specifically some sixty acres of vineyards in and around the town of Thauvenay. In 1990, Serge’s oldest son Franck joined the venture, his daughter Christine followed in 1998, and his youngest, Clément, came aboard in 2021. Since Serge’s passing in 2006, his children have carried on his vision: Franck now handles the winemaking, and the siblings have earned an HVE sustainability certification. They also renovated the cellar, outfitting it with amphorae, concrete eggs, and wooden casks to give themselves new ways to express each parcel’s unique terroir. Their “Cuvée Silex," from grapes grown on pure silex (flint) soils just outside the village, is their most mineral-driven bottling: called by some “Sauvignon Blanc for purists,” it shows cool citrus, a taut linear structure, flinty tension, and great length.
