Histoire du domaine
Isabelle Suire represents the fourth generation of this family estate. Her great-grandfather already worked in the vineyards in Berrie, but the estate truly took shape when her grandfather married her grandmother, whose family owned vines on a mixed-farming estate combining livestock and cereals. The family subsequently gradually abandoned other agricultural activities to focus on viticulture. After earning a master's degree in chemistry and a DESS postgraduate degree in agri-food science, Isabelle Suire began her career in the agri-food industry in Beaune, where she developed her interest in wine, and then completed professional training in viticulture. The Guide Hachette indicates that she has been running the estate since 2006, while other professional sources place the takeover of her parents' estate in 2007. She later served as president of the AOC Saumur Blanc union. A transition to organic farming was initiated in 2023, although acquired certification cannot be confirmed by the sources consulted.
