Domaine du Haut Planty

Haut Planty: A Gem in La Landreau

Domaine du Haut Planty is located in the picturesque village of La Landreau, surrounded by the renowned Muscadet Sèvre et Maine vineyards. This charming estate benefits from the mild climate of the Loire Valley, enriched by fresh Atlantic breezes. Michel Couillaud began transforming his father's farm into a vineyard in the 1960s, and today, his sons, Christian and Alain, carry on the family legacy. They honor traditional viticulture while integrating modern techniques to craft exceptional wines. Currently, they are making significant strides toward converting the entire estate to organic farming, with 50% already achieved.

Commitment to Organic Practices

The estate spans approximately 20 hectares, with a diverse terroir of sandy and clayey soils ideal for vine cultivation. The primary grape varieties cultivated here include Melon, Folle Blanche, Abouriou, Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. These grapes are used to produce a range of organic wines, including red, white, rosé, sparkling, and dessert options. The family takes pride in managing all vineyard activities themselves, employing organic practices to protect the environment and enhance the wines' natural flavors. They avoid synthetic fertilizers and sulfites, resulting in wines that showcase a delightful structure and fruity notes, complemented by hints of grape and almond aromas.
