Established since 2008, Tanguy Perrault and Anne-Cécile Jadaud, this young couple full of energy own 2.5 hectares of vines spread over three locations. Anne-Cécile teaches oenology at the wine school in Amboise and Tanguy with an oenology degree and Master of Philosophy says "My wife is the head, I’m the hands!".

Tanguy's career started with a job in Bordeaux working in the vineyard and then as a cellar master for a famous domain in Vouvray. His determination pushed him to settle his own estate, and especially after a reflection of his boss who told him in substance: "You'll never work for anyone!" Taking this to a sentence or a fatality, it was the beginning of a new adventure.

Tanguy and Anne-Cecile’s work is meticulous, even difficult due to some vineyards in terrace. They managed to recently aquire a new vineyard, planted in 1961. Their production is made of a dry and off dry style and some fine bubbles under the ancestral method.

All wines are aged in old barrels, including their sparkling wines. There is a traditional aspect in their work and even if they are not fundamentalists "organic" they argue that choice, because it is the easiest way to grow while keeping a distrust copper treatments. Yields never exceed 30 hectoliters per hectare in the best years.
