Vineyard

The Story

The Frissant family has been cultivating vines for eight generations. Today, Isabelle and Xavier Frissant run a 15-hectare estate in Mosnes, on the first hills south of the Loire. The vineyard extends over four lieux-dits, spread over two types of terroir. The clay-silica soils, rich in flint, are found on the Frênes and Pierres parcels and contribute to the production of Touraine Amboise. The silty-sandy soils found on the Hauts-Noyers and Clos du Verger plots are ideal for other grape varieties perfectly suited to these characteristics. The estate produces wines under several emblematic appellations. AOC Touraine Amboise stands out for its Chenin-based whites, which combine delicacy and richness, and for its Côt-based reds, renowned for their ageing potential and structured finesse. The Touraine AOC reveals the minerality of Sauvignon Blanc, while the IGP Val de Loire highlights Fié Gris, an ancient grape variety offering rich, delicate, floral wines. In organic conversion since 2018, the estate favors reasoned intervention in the vineyard, based solely on climatic hazards and risks. This approach limits treatments, respects the ecosystem and preserves human health. In the cellar, vinification is adapted to each grape variety and terroir to guarantee elegance and structure. Wines are made in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, foudres or barrels, according to the needs of each cuvée.
