Domaine Chollet

Domaine Chollet

A family estate of 14 hectares in Pouilly-sur-Loire, at the heart of the Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire appellations, since 1960. Three generations, Sauvignon Blanc and Chasselas. Certified Organic (AB) and Biodynamic (Demeter) since 2025.

Located in Pouilly-sur-Loire, Domaine Chollet spans 14 hectares within two prestigious appellations: Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire. Since 1960, three generations of the Chollet family have shaped wines faithful to their land, driven by the same demand: to preserve the identity of the terroir while developing the estate with intelligence and modernity. Today, the estate is run by Gilles Chollet, with his wife Valérie and their son Séverin, back after his studies in Beaune; his sister Milène handles management and sales.

A strong commitment: Organic Agriculture and Biodynamics

Keen to preserve their environment and cultivate the vine in the most natural way possible, the Chollets obtained in 2025 the Organic Agriculture (AB) and Biodynamics (DEMETER) labels. This approach reinforces their philosophy: to produce living, precise, sincere wines that tell the truth of their soils. The Chollet style is the purity, minerality and elegance of the great Pouilly terroirs.
