France - Loire Valley

Clos des Orfeuilles

One of its lesser-known treasures of the Muscadet appellation, located in the village of Pallet, near Nantes.

The tower of Clos des Orfeuilles looks out over 18.5 ha of exceptional vineyard, certified organic since the 2012 vintage. Clos des Orfeuilles is all about minerality, with a unique terroir made up of schist, mica schist, gneiss and quartz bringing a quite extraordinary precision and energy. This is a true Loire Valley gem, showcasing the very best that the Muscadet Sèvre & Maine sur Lies appellation has to offer.

Jean-Max Roger

The Roger family descends from a long line of winegrowers from the village of Bué. The first written mention of the name dates back to the 17th century.

Up until the 1960s, generation after generation practised mixed farming and animal rearing - the husband would look after the vines while the wife would care for the goats. Jean-Max Roger took over the 4 hectares of vines that his parents had left to him in the early 1970s. With his wife Nicole, they focused on the vineyards and developed the estate to make it what it is today.

Serge Dagueneau & Filles

The Loire meanders through the sun-drenched slopes of Pouilly. Since the 5th century these slopes have been home to one of the most exquisite expressions of a vineyard; the renowned Pouilly-Fumé wine.

For more than four generations, our family has shared a common passion: working the vineyard and making wine. This passion has been passed from father to sons and now from father to daughters! We would like you to discover this passion... and to taste it.
