About the Winemaker

Domaine Le Facteur

At 33 years old, my journey into the world of wine began with a university course focused on the Sébastien Brunet estate, renowned for its organic practices in the AOC Vouvray, spanning from 2006 to 2008. It was during this time that I crossed paths with Mathieu Cosme, another advocate of organic viticulture. In 2013, seizing the opportunity, I joined forces with Mathieu to embark on a new winemaking venture at Domaine "Le Facteur". Over the years, I've reclaimed ownership of vineyards in the AOC Vouvray and expanded our footprint with 2 hectares adjacent to the AOC Côteau du Loir. Committed to organic principles, our cuvées are either certified or undergoing certification, with a steadfast aim of achieving 100% certification within the next three years. - Domaine Le Facteur
