Situé à Mouzillon, en plein cœur du vignoble nantais, une région vallonnée réputée pour ses vins blancs, c’est ici, dans l’appellation du Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine entre les coteaux du Vallet et les villages de Clisson, Le Pallet en passant par Gorges que nous cultivons une cinquantaine d’hectares de vignes. À ce jour, notre domaine propose une gamme de vins du pays nantais constituée pour 10% de vins rouges, 20% de vins rosés et 70% de vins blancs. Notre muscadet dispose de l’appellation AOC Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine sur lie et nous sommes aussi en cours d”élaboration d’un cru communal Gorges. Mais cette cuvée haut de gamme repose pour l’instant sur ses lies et devra être encore travaillée avant de bénéficier de la plus haute distinction accordée aux muscadets.Nos autres cuvées ne sont pas rattachées à une AOC, ce qui nous laisse une totale liberté de création et qui nous permet de vous proposer des vins atypiques, certains issus d’assemblages osés.

HEV 3 (High Environmental Value) certified.
Coming from the North of France, the Desgrousilliers family switched from growing cereals and dairy farming to growing vines and wine making. Ever since 2002, we cultivate our parcels with full enthousiasm. Our parcel called "La Butte" is the highest peak in Loire Valley (120m of altitude) located in the midst of the Saumur region. The sister/brother duo, Justine and Joffrey, took over their parents, Hervé and Christine, and are now co-managing the estate, specialized in sparkling wine, most specifically "Fine Bubbles". The 32 ha estate has been labelled High Environmental Value (HEV) level 3 since 2018. We always aime to reduce our environmental impact everyday and within the company :
1) We have been sowing plants to use it as vegetal covers for 6 years, protecting and nurishing our soils, and boosting the biodiversity in the parcels.
2) Our boxes are re-usable. We get them back from our clients and partners.
3) 90% of our bottles are also re-usable. We collect the empty bottles, specified for re-use, send them to a company that will wash and store them, and then we receive new and/or re-used bottles to continue the cycle.
Wines in Moulin de l'Horizon are quite special : refreshing and aromatic, full of flavour and an elegant maturity. All is the result of the slow but progressive development of our expertise from the vines to the winery. All our wines are grown, vinified, blended and bottled with our care, the true prowess of an Independant Winegrower.

Nathalie et Antoine LEDUC conduisent le Domaine famillal fondé en1873. Avant nous ce sont 4 générations qui ont bâti et développé le joli vignoble de la "Seigneurie" qui s'étend aujourd'hui sur 30 hectares. Nous sommes situés à Martigné Briand au Sud de la Loire dans un magnifique site troglodyte Nous cultivons les grands cépages de la Vallée de la Loire ... Le "Chenin" pour vinifier nos Subtils Anjou Blanc, Coteaux du Layon et Crémant de Loire. Le "Cabernet Franc" et "Cabernet Sauvignon" pour élaborer nos vins rouges : Anjou et Anjou Villages gourmands et gorgés de fruits à déguster dès leur jeunesse. Ces mêmes cépages nous permettent aussi de produire de délicieux Rosé de Loire et Cabernet d'Anjou. Notre "Grolleau" typique et ancestral entre dans la vinification de notre Rosé d'Anjou, un vin à découvrir absolument. Tous ces cépages sont cultivés sur des terroirs d'une grande diversité : falun, schiste et argiles, ce qui nous permet de révéler le caractère des vins LEDUC-FROUIN. Nous travaillons depuis plus de 20 ans dans une démarche d'agriculture durable Terra Vitis, et depuis l'été dernier nous avons en plus la reconnaissance Haute Valeur Environnementale - HVE3. Comme " ...Le vin n'a de valeur que s'il est partagé ..." nous vous invitons à venir à notre rencontre.
HISTORY & GEOGRAPHY
In charge of their Anjou boutique winery created in 1994 in La Pommeraye (Loire Valley), Jean-Christophe Courné-Noléo and Mathias Levron take good care of their 25 ha of Chenin, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay and Grolleau.
Considered as one of the closest Anjou boutique wineries to Muscadet area, Musset-Roullier takes great benefit from the oceanic influence that can be perceived for the beautiful freshness of its wines.
As a geological feature, the winery is expanding on schist and blue limestone soils; these ones provide a superb finesse to the aromas and flavours of the red wines produced.
VITICULTURE & WINEMAKING
Currently labelled HVE3, the winery is working on getting a biological certification.
A viticulture close to organic farming is practiced.
The plots are permanently covered with grass, and organic leguminous and vegetables are planted between the rows to help the ground to maintain a great microbial life. That’s also the reason why the upper part of the soils is worked mechanically: to not damage this precious microbial life with UV. No weed-killers used, no insecticide used; the winery focuses on sexual confusion instead.
90% of the tasks are still done by hand (short pruning, disbudding, trellising, stripping, harvest).
Sick crops are replaced with young plants every year (with only selections massales).
The yields are limited, grapes are handpicked when they’ve reached their peak in terms of maturity, and the winery vinifies all the plots separately. Indigenous yeasts are the only ones selected, no chaptalization considered (ever).
The emphasis is put on long ageings in stainless steel tanks, concrete tanks, oak barrels, and amphoras.
Limited amount of sulphites is added, and only for the bottling.

Les Vignobles MOURAT, ce sont aujourd’hui 165 hectares de vignes plantés à flanc de coteaux sur l’appellation d’origine Fiefs Vendéens, dominant la vallée du Lay en Vendée. Cette terre de contraste est le berceau de la famille MOURAT dont la passion se transmet de père en fils… La force de cette maison : le respect d’un terroir atypique associé à une recherche permanente de l’expression même du lieu. Situé sur une cassure géologique très ancienne, au croisement de trois écosystèmes : la Plaine de Luçon, le Marais Poitevin et le Bocage Vendéen. Les terroirs sont constitués de coteaux de schistes et de rhyolites sous influence maritime. La Vendée bénéficie d’un vignoble cosmopolite qui marie traditionnellement les cépages de la Loire aux cépages du sud-ouest de la France. Engagé en agriculture biologique depuis 2008, on s’emploie ici à démontrer qu’en Vendée aussi on est à même de faire de grands vins.
