Domaine de Noiré

Philosophy and Legacy of Domaine de Noiré

Domaine de Noiré is a treasure of tradition and fine wines. Since Odile and Jean-Max Manceau took over the estate in 2001, they have revitalized its vineyards with passion and care. With a wine-making heritage that spans three generations, their approach focuses on creating wines that reflect delicacy, elegance, and unique character. Partnering with Olivier, a trusted friend, they blend nature's gifts to produce outstanding vintages.

Vineyard Chronicles: Soil, Flavor, and Craftsmanship

The wines of Domaine de Noiré are shaped by three distinct soil types: sandy-clay, gravelly, and limestone. These diverse soils contribute to a range of flavors and finesse in each bottle. With limited yields and careful attention, every grape captures the essence of the terroir. The modern vat-room combines traditional methods with innovative techniques, resulting in wines that are highly regarded by enthusiasts. As a certified organic producer, Domaine de Noiré proudly displays the Agriculture Biologique (AB) certification, reflecting their commitment to sustainable practices.
