Terroir
Tuffeau limestone with clay and silex over sandy alluvial soils.

Based in Noizay, in the heart of Vouvray, Alexandre Giquel farms just over 3 hectares of Chenin Blanc on clay and silex soils over tuffeau limestone. Established in 2017, the domaine is farmed biodynamically with horse work replacing tractors.

Grapes are hand-harvested, gently pressed and fermented in old oak barrels in limestone caves, producing precise, expressive wines defined by freshness and site expression.
