For many years, winemaker Dimitri Mesnards ancestors worked the lands of Villalin, in the Loire Valley. When he inherited a plot it was natural that he asked the family Tatin, well-known winemakers, to advise and help in the choice of the best Sauvignon Blanc vines. This is how the first blend with the 2018 harvest was born.
The vineyard is managed through sustainable viticulture: grass is planted between the rows to control the vigour of the plant, they limit the number of bunches and employ soil tillage for weed management. Thanks to this work, they haven’t used any products for grey mould for the last four years. They also do not use any CMR products and are Terra Vitis certified.
