Liv Vincendeau

Originally, half of Vincendeau's area was covered with chenin blanc one of the historic grape varieties of the Loire Valley. In 2015, a plot was planted with Grolleau Noir From day one, Liv has farmed her vineyards organically and has always made her wines according to the rules of organic farming (certified by Ecocert). For her, it was a natural choice. In 2019, she upgraded to biodynamic farming.

The terroir of their high altitude vineyards has an incredibly strong character. The soils are very stony: green & purple slate, spilite, phtannite (both of volcanic origin), quartz. These poor soils and the careful cultivation allow only very modest yields. Maximum 45 hectolitres per hectare or less, depending on the age of the vineyard.

The winemaker does most of the work herself - whether in the cellar, vineyard or in sales. Just as it should be for a young business. In addition, a small team of loyal local seasonal workers supports during the work peaks - harvest, pruning, bottling & labeling. The family also likes to help a lot.
