Since 2000, Domaine de la Coche has belonged to two cousins Emmanuel and Laurent Guitteny, who combine the family wine tradition with recent techniques and their know-how. The climate being oceanic, the vines benefit from the mildness and the Lake of Grandlieu protects them from heavy precipitation. “We exploit several types of soil, to which we have adapted the grape varieties according to their potential.” The sandy-gravelly terroirs, where the soil is entirely covered with small white pebbles, thus allowing heat and light to reverberate on the grapes for perfect maturity. Shale terroirs, letting the roots go down deep, following the faults in the rock to recover mineral salts and trace elements. Gneiss terroirs, bringing an original mineral richness to the wines. The sandy clay terroirs, interesting for the rapid maturation of the grapes. "The 37-hectare estate is in the process of converting to organic farming. The flagship appellation is Muscadet Côtes de Grandlieu, but we give pride of place to the local grape varieties Grolleau, Grolleau Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon or Gamay. Our wines are regularly recognized for their quality in national or international competitions. Organic culture
In the heart of the Loire valley our 82 hectares estate has been in the Regnard family since 1791, shortly after the French Revolution. Rooted in soil referred to as "Anjou Noir", it is characterized by dark, shallow schists and its famous mild climate, the "douceur angevine". Antoine Poupard has been managing the estate and winemaking for the Madame Gwenaëlle Regnard since 2007. True to the tradition of La Petite Roche, he continues to promote and encourage the production of quality rose wines and their recognition. A fierce lover of our oldest local grape varieties, Chenin blanc and Cabernet franc, he has been developing a range of dry whites and reds, where the expression and the intimate knowledge of our different terroirs reflect the beauty and complexity of these varieties. Our vineyard practices protect and encourage bio-diversity (soil-tillage, sodding between the vines, sexual confusion to prevent the use of pesticides and agroforestry). We have obtained the TerraVitis and HVE3 certifications. Our latest adventure is to preserve the stock of old vines, such as a parcel of "Grolleau Noir" which has reached the ripe old age of 75 years. The characteristics of these vines are hidden in its wood. We use the field selection "massale" method to safeguard this heritage. We produce three different ranges of wines: - "les Essentiels" - " l'Origine" - "L'AngeVin" The difference between the ranges are defined by the soil type, the "terroir", the maturity of the grapes, the yield and whether the wine has fermented and aged on its lees, in stainless steel tanks, ovoïde (egg shaped) tanks or oak barrels. Each range of wine is represented by a dry Chenin, a dry Rosé de Loire, a Anjou Red and a sparkling wine (either a Saumur brut or a Crémant de Loire). We have two more demi-sec rose wines (rosé d'Anjou and Cabernet d'Anjou) in our Essentiel range.
WINE GROWER
Located in Loire Valley, at Chalonnes sur Loire, the history of the Domaine des Coteaux Blancs goes back almost half a century, in the foothills of the Corniche Angevine,
a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Since March 2022, this magnificient estate has been run by Jannick Jarry, a native of the region and the son of a winegrower. He has joined forces with 4 partners who share his passion for wine and his entrepreneurial spirit.
Our vineyard extends over more than 20 hectares with soils that are sometimes clayey-sandy on the hillsides, others mostly sandy composed of alluvial deposits made several million years ago, depending on the evolution of the geographical relief, but also schistose-sandstone on the plateaus adjacent to the Corniche.
We are passionate about making quality wines that reflect the complexity and richness of our beautiful Anjou terroirs, where each of our cuvée is unique.
In conversion to organic farming for the last 3 years, 2024 will be our first harvest in organic farming, synonymous with our environmental values.

After completing his studies in 2012, Mickaël Salmon became wineworker in an estate for two years before returning to the family farm in 2014, where he began to integrate into all levels of the farm. In February 2015, he left for New Zealand to work in a winery in the Marlborough Valley for several months. He takes the opportunity to visit vineyards around the world. He returned in July 2019, and joined forces with his father on the family domain, Salmon. At the same time, Mickaël decided to create his little domain in organic conversion in order to bring a different approach to the vineyard and the cellar. He selects several fairly specific terroirs to produce only single-plot vintages in white and red. Today Domaine Lucas-Salmon covers 9 hectares of Melon Blanc, Folle Blanche, Pinot Gris, Gamay and Pinot Noir. The wines are aged in underground vats, barrels, or in clay amphoraes in order to provide the beautiful oxygenation which now characterizes Mickaël's wines so well. The work in the vineyard is conscientious : the soils are fully plowed, and the team carries out a green harvest each spring. Today, the vintages are distributed throughout France, in fine restaurants and wine merchants, as well as for export. In addition to Mickaël, two wineworkers work in the vineyards, and Mickaël's wife devotes herself to the commercial side with him. The name Lucas, associated with the name Salmon, pays homage to Mickaël's great-grandparents who were also winegrowers in Landes Devin.
