Tradition Meets Modernity in the Loire Valley
Exceptional Terroir for Quality Wine Production
If you are a wine enthusiast visiting the Loire Valley, a stop at Domaine de Haute Perche is a must. This winery is ideally situated and produces wines from two renowned appellations: Anjou Villages Brissac and Coteaux de l’Aubance. The Anjou Villages Brissac area surrounds the Château de Brissac Quincé, the tallest castle in France. Its proximity to the Loire River, the longest river in France, contributes to the wines' excellent aging potential, resulting in rich, sweet, and fresh flavors. The Coteaux de l’Aubance appellation, located on the left bank of the Loire, benefits from moisture that encourages noble rot, enhancing the wines' soft texture and remarkable taste.
Biodynamic Practices at Domaine de Haute Perche
Founded in 1966 by Agnès and Christian Papin in Saint Melaine sur Aubance, the winery is now under the stewardship of their daughter Véronique, who initiated the transition to organic farming. The new owner, a Parisian accountant with a passion for wine, is investing in biodynamic practices. The vineyards are nurtured by respecting natural cycles, lunar phases, and the ecosystem, ensuring a holistic approach to viticulture. Guided tours of the vineyard and cellar are available upon request (Price: 5 to 10€, depending on age and group size), offering a unique view of the Aubance River and insights into the winemaking process.
Experience Wine Tasting at Domaine de Haute Perche
Visitors can enjoy complimentary wine tastings at the winery, where you can sample popular selections such as Anjou White, Gamay, Coteaux De L’Aubance “Cuvée Tradition,” Crémant De Loire White, and Rosé De Loire. Join the winery in celebrating their rich heritage and expertise in winemaking.
