Alexandre Giquel, Noizay

Picture
Alexandre Giquel's domaine is just a little over 3 hectares, all organic and bio certified. These fall within two parcels in Vouvray, Clos Chapon (usually goes in "Gallus") and "Montcontour" around the castle of the same name.   Alexandre works everything with horses, no tractors in his vineyards.
He crafts all the wines in a small troglodyte cellar in Noizay (within the Vouvray AOC as all vouvray has to be vinified and raised within the AOC).  His project began in 2017 with the Huit-Launay négoce wines, which continues to this day to source organic fruit from around the Loire, and now includes Vouvray as well.
