PRESENTATION

A rare and generous grape variety that asserts its character on the slopes of the Loire Valley.

THE ESTATE

Domaine Jean-Luc Viaud is located in the commune of Le Landreau, in the village of La Renouère. Jean-Luc represents the fourth generation of winemakers in his family. His three predecessors were all named Pierre. While they didn't pass on their name, they bequeathed him their passion for winemaking. A precious terroir. We owe the character of our wines to the estate's terroir. It is primarily composed of small south or southwest-facing slopes.
