From the Importer Steven Graf Wine: A few miles south of Angers in the Loire valley, Nadège Lelandais cultivates 4.5 hectares of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chenin Blanc in a triangular vineyard known as “la Pointe” and in a second plot called “ La rue aux loups ” in Rochefort sur Loire.

As of 2020, Nadège has been working on 3 new cuvées distinct from those of her estate thanks to her partnership with Le Domaine du Verger and Domaine de la Gautterie from whom she purchases fruits.

She has been practicing organic and biodynamic methods since the start, in 2005.  She is dedicated to these methods. “The power of consumerism is the greatest we have if we want to change things. It is up to us to choose the society we want to build, and the world we will leave to our children.”
