Seventh-generation farmers Vincent and Stephane farm around 25 hectares, in and around the medieval ‘Cru’ village of Clisson. Organic conversion began in 2009. They make bright and pretty wines, with a salty vein running throughout. They have recently started experimenting with a few Tuscan amphora and gentle macerations.
