This relatively large (55 hectares) domaine has unbroken family history going back to the 18th century. Completely organic for more than fifteen years, it makes an impressive range of wines from several Anjou appellations. We have been especially impressed with their reds, which are made without additional sulfites, fining or filtration. To give an idea of Vaillant’s approach, when they do use small quantities of sulphur for spraying purposes, they get it direct from a Polish mine, rather than using the petro-chemical products that are the norm in the wine world.
