Philippe Marchais took over the family estate in 1987 with a will to produce terroir wines. To do so he welcomed the Loroux Bottereau vineyards, a few hectares in Thouaré sur Loire and in Mauves sur Loire for our pleasure. 

Producer of Blanc Nantais under the famous appellation Muscadet which at the estate is declined in 2 regional appellations: Sèvre & Maine, Coteaux de la Loire and also more locally with the Cru Champtoceaux. The diversity of soils and grapes of the domain allow us to produce Coteaux d'Ancenis Malvoisie (another appellation made with Malvoisie grape), sparkling wines, rosés and reds.
