Xaviere Hardy (Les Terres Bleues) is the only wine grower in her village of La Chapelle-Glain. It puts her well outside the nearest Loire AOC of Coteaux dโAncenis in every sense. After discovering that natural wines were those that challenged and captivated her, she gave up a long career specialized in environmental engineering and plunged into the unknown: In 2013, she began planting 1.5 hectares of uncharted ground, tethered only to the idea of farming pinot gris, pinot noir, and grolleau noir biodynamically and making sulfur-free natural wines that express her connection to the land and the environment. The results are defined by freshness and energy, drawing a direct line to the blue schist and cool oceanic clime of her chosen terroir. In her deliberate explorations of this uncharted terroir and through her unfettered approach in the cellar, Xaviere has uncovered an entirely new character for these varieties.
