Hervé and his sister Isabelle are true Loire vignerons, the product of several generations of vignerons that work and farm the family vineyards in and around Cellettes, in the Touraine appellation. Hervé began moving away from conventional farming in the late-nineties when, after a few years of working conventionally (and after many conversations with his friend, natural winemaker Thierry Puzelat) he felt the wines weren’t as good as he thought they could be. After a few years of organic farming, he noticed a huge difference in quality, and never looked back.
