The Family-Run Estate of Domaine de la Coche

Domaine de la Coche is nestled in the picturesque Pays de Retz, just southwest of Nantes and a mere 20 km from the Atlantic Ocean. Since 2000, brothers Emmanuel and Laurent Guitteny have been at the helm of this family-owned winery, blending traditional winemaking practices with modern techniques to create outstanding wines.

The Winery and Its Unique Terroir

Spanning 30 hectares, Domaine de la Coche boasts a diverse range of soils that contribute to the quality of its grapes. The oceanic breezes help the grapes ripen naturally, while the rich terroir enhances their sweetness. The sandy-gravelly soils, dotted with small white pebbles, reflect heat and light, promoting optimal grape maturity. Shale soils allow roots to delve deep, accessing essential mineral salts and trace elements. Additionally, the gneiss terroirs impart a distinctive mineral richness, while sandy clay soils facilitate rapid grape ripening.

Guided Wine Tours and Tastings

Join a guided tour of the winery to learn about their innovative production methods and the extensive vineyards that yield exquisite wines year after year. During your visit, you will have the opportunity to taste the exceptional wines produced at Château Tourteau Chollet. This experience is perfect for wine enthusiasts looking to deepen their understanding of Loire Valley wines.

Excellent welcome, tasting and explanation of the entire range of wines produced. The palette offers such a qualitative and surprising diversity because certain grape varieties (little known because they are truly local) make it very difficult to choose. For other, more well-known grape varieties, they offer different sensations compared to other production regions. I loved it!! the welcome, the time spent and the wines. Many thanks
