After the acquisition of Domaine Guy Malbete in 2017, our soils are made of clay limestone, sandy loam and siliceous pebbles and, for our most elevated grapevines, sandy gravel. The winery now spans 10 hectares of grapevines, the oldest of which were planted by Domaine Malbete in 1970. Following in the footsteps of our predecessor Guy Malbete, we work our soil to ensure our grapes feature the best aspects of our terroir. But we have also added our own touch, using only organic fertilizers in order to protect the organisms living in our soils. The use of mating disruption techniques avoids the need for insecticides. Lastly, we only protect our vineyard against diseases when necessary so that our grapes can end their growing cycles at optimal maturity. The Reuilly wine region extends over nearly 270 hectares in the Indre and Cher Departments. Planted on gently sloping hillsides, the grapevines flourish in marly limestone soils, overlooked by terraces of sand and gravel which receive plenty of sunshine. That exposure along the banks of the Arnon and the Cher releases the full expressiveness of nicely matured wines. As the Berry’s emblematic wine region, Reuilly has long sustained deep roots in the history of Centre-Loire wines. Legend has it that, in the 7th century, King Dagobert donated his fields, grapevines and meadows in the region to the monks of the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis outside Paris. Reuilly shares its use of Sauvignon and Pinot Noir grapes with the other AOCs in its winemaking region: Quincy, Menetou-Salon, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fume.
