About the Producer

Dominique Dufour is a former aeroplane engineer from Paris who decided to retire at an early age to return to his country house in Rablay-sur-Layon in Anjou and start making natural wine on more than just an amateur level from the old family vineyard just outside of the village. An amazing plot of land situated on a southward facing hill, the bottom of which he sublets to Mai and Kenju Hodgson. Well, if you know, you know…

Dominique cultivates 0,73 hectares of Chenin Blanc that were planted on top of the hill in 1980 with all his (biodynamic) care and attentiveness. It goes without saying that he doesn’t produce a lot of wine, in fact he only makes one wine a year, a beautiful, dry and crisp Chenin aged in old barriques, and only in unusually fruitful vintages a late harvested Chenin in 50 cl bottles.
