🌿 Commitment and Terroir:
The Catherine & Pierre Breton estate is one of the pioneers of organic and biodynamic viticulture in the Loire. The vines are cultivated without herbicides or synthetic products, harvests are done manually, and fermentations exclusively use indigenous yeasts.
The grapes come from the clay-limestone and clay-siliceous terroirs of Vouvray, resting on the famous Touraine tufa. This geological combination gives the wines their characteristic tension, minerality, and remarkable aging potential.
