Christophe Verronneau grows 9 hectars of grapevine with organic farming over the district of Cheillé, near Azay le Rideau.
 
The La Herpinière land yields mainly white wine, from the CHENIN varietal and the Touraine-Azay le Rideau AOC (term of controlled origin, obtained in 1953).

 
Depending on the age and the terroir of the wine, we produce:
        - demi-sec (semi dry wine ) over “aubuis” (argillaceous land) - parcelle de La Gaillarderie.
        - sec (dry wine) over the “perruches” (flint clay) - parcelle Les Dupinières
        - moelleux (soft wine) for the old vine planted over the “perruches” by my father and my grandfather - parcelle de La Belle Croix.

The Groslot, a classic varietal of Azay le Rideau, is the rosé wine of the Maison Rouge lot from La Herpinière located over the “perruches” (flint clay).
 
Our red wine, the AOC Touraine, comes from grapevine grown over cabernet franc, with some vine stock of cabernet sauvignon (my father whim) over the perruches de La Belle Croix.
 
BIO (organic farming) winemaker, I grow my grapevine without any synthetic inputs. I work mechanically and manually the land (with a home made hydraulic inter-vine hoe) to prevent the development of weed, the evaporation and air the soil.
 
To protect my vine from the mildew and the powdery mildew, I use natural inputs: copper and sulphur. 
 
The terroir, the vine, the climate, the wine and the winemaker grow fully in a natural environment.


Grape harvest is done entirely by hand respecting the grape and the tradition. By the way, don’t hesitate to be our guest...
