Domaine de la Noblaie
Jérôme Billard is the third-generation proprietor of Domaine de la Noblaie. Located in Chinon, the estate has 22 hectares of vineyards primarily dedicated to Cabernet Franc, with a smaller Chenin Blanc section. With experience at prestigious estates like Petrus, Dominus and Sacred Hill, Jérôme and his wife, Élodie, focus on crafting elegant, fruit-driven Chinon wines with aging potential, while avoiding the rusticity associated with wines from the region in the past. These versatile and great-value wines are perfect for food pairings. The domaine was considered "The Virtuoses of the Loire River" and was awarded 4 stars by the Bettane and Desseauve Guide 2024.
Domaine Laureau
Damien Laureau, the "future star of Savennieres" according to La Revue de Vin de France, defies Savennieres' austere reputation by harvesting golden Chenin Blanc grapes. He creates vibrant vineyards through sustainable practices like organic farming. His wines exhibit a stunning balance of richness, concentration, lively acidity, and impressive length. The estate's Chenin Blanc is now among the appellation's finest, offering immediate enjoyment and excellent aging potential.
Domaine Pierre Martin
Located in Chavignol, Pierre Martin oversees 18 hectares of vineyards at his domaine. With 14.5 hectares dedicated to Sauvignon Blanc, including vineyards in Les Monts Damnés and Les Culs de Beaujeu, he produces highly regarded wines. The soils consist of limestone and Kimmeridgian clay-limestone marl, with steep slopes. Pierre follows organic practices, with certification underway. Minimal intervention is practiced in the cellars, with hand harvesting for site-specific cuvées. Fermentation occurs in steel or wood, respecting the lunar phases.
