On the left bank of the Cher, in Pouille, between Saint-Aignan and Montrichard, Manoir de la Vigniere cultivates an authentic identity: a small passionate team - Christine and Frederic - united around one aim, to create wines that faithfully reflect their terroir. An independent winegrower certified High Environmental Value (HVE 3), the estate relies on an intimate knowledge of its soil, its grapes and its environment. With 15 hectares in AOC Touraine, it produces whites, reds, rosés and sparkling wines, thanks to a mosaic of carefully blended grapes.
The Touraine, land of chateaux and wines
The estate lies in the heart of an emblematic Loire Valley region, where the vineyards sit beside the most famous chateaux of France. The Touraine vineyard, spanning nearly 6000 hectares, is dominated by two major grapes: Sauvignon, star of the white wines, and Gamay, pillar of fruity, supple reds. The Touraine has a unique character: its reds are often made from a marriage of Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Pinot Noir, an alliance that gives lively, joyful wines. The estate is also part of a living territory, between Montrichard and its medieval keep and Thesee, a village with an incredible Gallo-Roman history (the Maselles site).

Every tank, every harvest, every bottle is the fruit of a deep commitment to sustainable viticulture. An independent winegrower, Manoir de la Vigniere is certified High Environmental Value (HVE 3), a mark of environmentally respectful practices. The estate is not certified organic, but relies on an intimate knowledge of its soil and its grapes to faithfully reveal its terroir.

The wines of Manoir de la Vignière
The range, with its pretty insect names, explores all the colours of the Touraine. In white, Sauterelle (100% Sauvignon, night harvest) is lively and mineral, Libellule (Sauvignon macerated on skins and aged on lees) deeper and gastronomic, and Aurore signs an AOC Touraine Chenonceaux. In sparkling, the Valentine wines (Brut Blanc, Brut Rose and Extra Brut / Brut Zero) are made by the traditional method. In red, La Coccinelle blends Cabernet Franc and Cot (Malbec); in rosé, Le Sphinx blends Gamay, Cabernet and Pineau d'Aunis. Each cuvee faithfully expresses the Touraine terroir.
The Sauvignon whites
Sauterelle, Libellule and Aurore - AOC Touraine
Sauterelle (100% Sauvignon, night harvest) offers citrus, white flowers and a sharp minerality. Libellule, Sauvignon from the best-exposed plots, macerates 12 h on skins and ages 6 months on lees: a deep, ample, gastronomic Sauvignon. Aurore, in AOC Touraine Chenonceaux, completes the white range.
The Valentine sparkling wines
Traditional method - AOC Touraine Pétillant
Valentine Brut Blanc, fine and delicate, with elegant bubbles; Valentine Brut Rose, gourmet and fruity, with a fresh finish; and Valentine Extra Brut (Brut Zero), extra dry with no dosage, a pure, precise gastronomic bubble, perfect with fine fish and scallops.
La Coccinelle, the red
AOC Touraine, red - Cabernet Franc & Côt
A supple, balanced and intensely fruity red, born of the Cabernet Franc and Cot (Malbec) blend. It easily accompanies roast meats, grills, cheeses and even game. A convivial wine that embodies the Touraine at its most generous.
Le Sphinx, the rosé
AOC Touraine, rosé - Gamay, Cabernet, Pineau d'Aunis
A deep grenadine colour, a blend of Gamay, Cabernet and Pineau d'Aunis. Fresh and fruity, perfect as an aperitif, with salads, grills and charcuterie. A charming rosé that reveals a true Touraine personality.
