Common Questions
Straight answers about tastings, cellar visits, and how our organic wines reach your table.
For the commented tasting and the cellar tour, yes. Groups are kept small so you can actually talk with the winemaker and ask questions. Walk-in purchases at the cave are always welcome, but guided visits need a reservation.
The commented tasting runs about an hour. If you add the walk through the vines, plan for another 45 minutes. The cellar tour alone is shorter, around 30 minutes, and works well if you are passing through Couëron for the afternoon.
Yes. The cave sells our current cuvées directly, including the limited millésime editions that do not reach shops. You can taste before you buy, and we can help you choose a bottle to take home or offer as a gift.
We welcome private events in the courtyard and the old cellar throughout the warmer months. The setting is rustic and authentic, with the vines as a backdrop. Contact us with your date and guest count, and we will outline what we can arrange.
We farm without synthetic herbicides or pesticides, using compost and natural cover crops to keep the soil alive. The grapes are harvested by hand, and fermentation follows traditional methods. The result is a clean, expressive wine that reflects the local cépages.
The tasting room and the cave are on ground level and accessible. The walk through the vines follows a dirt path that can be uneven after rain, so we recommend sturdy shoes. Let us know in advance, and we will adapt the visit.

What our guests say
Honest impressions from people who came to taste, walk the vines, and take a bottle home. No staged praise, just what happens after a real visit.
"We booked the guided tour on a Saturday morning. The walk through the chai was clear and unhurried, and the tasting afterwards covered four cuvées with honest explanations about each vintage. Left with a case of the dry white."

"Came for the open cellar weekend and stayed longer than planned. The rosé was exactly what we hoped for, and the team took time to explain how the organic farming changes the grapes. Simple, genuine hospitality."

Open cellar weekend, September
"We held a small private dinner among the barrels. The setting was rustic and warm, and the limited red vintage was a hit with our guests. Everything felt personal, not like a standard event venue."

Private event, July
"The tasting workshop was well paced for beginners. We learned how to read a wine's color and what to look for in the nose, then practiced on three different cuvées. Practical and not pretentious."

"Bought a few bottles directly at the cave after a short walk through the vines. The staff pointed us to the millésime they were proudest of, and it did not disappoint. Fair prices for the quality."
