The Story
Damien Pinon, independent winegrower, runs a 32-hectare family estate in Vernou-sur-Brenne, in the Vouvray appellation, where still wines and fine bubbles are produced. In 2020, the estate obtained Haute Valeur Environnementale certification, reflecting its commitment to biodiversity and low environmental impact, and began converting to organic farming, which is now organic-certified. Located in the Loire Valley, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the vineyard benefits from a unique terroir, cultivated on Tuffeau soils. Vouvray wines, made exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes, are an authentic expression of this exceptional terroir.
