Les trois toits
VINS DE LOIRE – VINS DE NANTES
Our estate
A vine in the city, a vine in the vineyard
This urban-rural duality is a strong feature of our estate, located in Vertou at the gateway to Nantes, in the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation area.
Here, we proudly defend the colors of Nantes wines, cultivating, among other things, Melon de Bourgogne and Folle Blanche, the two grape varieties endemic to the region.
Our organic agriculture is based on the main principles of agroecology. From our grapes, we create wines as free as the Loire and as creative as the city of Nantes.
Our watchword is balance, which we strive to achieve in our soils, our viticulture, our vines, through our wines and the work of those who work alongside us
Our team
Sharing skills
Life at the estate is made possible by the combined energy of Pascal, Matthieu, Vincent and Cécile.
Throughout the year, we welcome numerous students, interns and researchers, who bring their curiosity and energy to get involved in our farming practices, our winemaking processes and our marketing initiatives.
From vine to wine
A quest for balance
Every day, we work to reveal our soils and grape varieties in the glass we proudly offer you. Our innovative agro-ecological practices and free-range vinification accompany the long process of transforming grapes into wine, based on the energy of our soils.
Meeting
and sharing
The doors under the three roofs are open to visitors, tasters and anyone who wants to enjoy a moment of discovery, sharing and meeting new people.

🇫🇷 Tels Keraban, le Tétu, profil de caractère de Jules Verne, nous sommes venus à bout de notre idée : produire un grand vin rouge de garde à Vertou 🍷.
Partis d`une friche viticole en 2019, c`est un écosystème puissant que nous avons bâti avec sur une parcelle plein sud, sur un sol de schiste, avec 100 arbres, 10 000 ceps, un drainage parfait par couvert végétal, un léger travail du sol au cheval...
Rien pour nous faciliter la tâche : des arbres et des ceps qui ne rentrent dans aucune case du casier viticole du douanier, une densité et une organisation qui sort des cahiers des charges d`appellation, ...
Nous avons tenu tête et sommes aussi fiers que Keraban le têtu !
1000 bouteilles uniquement... soyez agile et rusé comme Keraban, appelez pour réserver !
🇺🇸 Like Keraban, the Tétu, Jules Verne`s character profile, we have come to the end of our idea: to produce a great red wine for ageing in Vertou 🍷.
Starting out on a winegrowing wasteland in 2019, we built a powerful ecosystem on a south-facing plot of schist soil, with 100 trees, 10,000 vines, perfect drainage by plant cover, light tillage with horses...
There was nothing to make our task easier: trees and vines that didn`t fit into any of the boxes in the customs officer`s vineyard register, a density and organization that went beyond the appellation specifications...
We stood our ground and are as proud as Keraban the stubborn!
1000 bottles only... be nimble and cunning like Keraban, call to reserve!

🇫🇷 Soussolage, émiettement : Voilà le travail de surface que l`on pratique pour préparer nos sols en évitant le labour.
La future plantation de la Ville au Blanc est prévue au Printemps 2025 avec de nouveaux cépages🌱.
🇺🇸 Subsoiling, ploughing, crumbling: This is the surface work we do to prepare our soils, avoiding ploughing.
The future planting of Ville au Blanc is scheduled for Spring 2025 with new varietals🌱.

🇫🇷 Sans boire la coupe jusqu`à la lie, cette dernière nous occupe cependant ces derniers temps : on soutire notre RedHot 2024 pour retirer la lie le temps de l`élevage 🍇.
En revanche, pour Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 2024, on remet la lie en suspension dans le vin pour apporter matière et `gras` pendant l`élevage.
🇺🇸 Without drinking the cup to the dregs, the latter has been keeping us busy of late: we rack our RedHot 2024 to remove the dregs for the duration of the ageing process.
On the other hand, for Muscadet Sèvre et Maine 2024, we put the lees back into suspension in the wine to add substance and `fatness` during ageing.

🇫🇷 Où l`on parle de nous en bûcherons, ce qui ne déplaît pas aux coureurs des bois que nous fûmes !
Un article très justement écrit par Alexandre Abellan pour le magazine @vitisphere.

🇺🇸 Where they talk about us as lumberjacks, which doesn`t displease the coureurs des bois that we once were!
