DOMAINE DES GUYONS LOIRE, FRANCE

Domaine des Guyons, a winery in the charming village of Puy Notre Dame, located south of Saumur in the Loire Valley region, is the talent of a simple man. Franck Bimont allows his vines to express themselves and brings out the particular character of each vintage. He produces a range of very expressive wines with great elegance. The estate is not certified organic, but Franck Bimont does not use any chemical fertilizers. Regular tillage, limiting yields, harvesting by successive sorting, everything is done to allow the old Chenin vines to give their best. The 47 acre vineyard is mainly planted in sandy clay and Turonian-era limestone and consists of the noble grape varieties of the Loire Valley.
