Alain Le Capitaine started the domaine in 1988 with only half an acre of vines planted in the family garden. He was joined in 1995 by his brother Christophe. In 2013 Alain’s son Florian joined them in growing some of the finest Chenin Blanc in Vouvray. Today the estate is 70 acres of vines planted in Chenin at the limit between oceanic influence and continental influence on the first slopes of Rochecorbon.
