About Domaine Benoit Chauveau

The family has owned the vineyards since the 19th century, and they have been making wine here for several generations. Benoit gradually took over the vineyards in the mid-1990s and dedicated himself to the cultivation of the vines and winemaking. A few years later, Benoit’s wife, Emmanuelle, joined him and now manages the administrative and commercial aspects of the business.

Today, the property spans approximately seventeen hectares (42 acres) and includes varieties such as Pouilly Fumé, Pouilly sur Loire, and Côteaux du Giennois, all grown on different types of soil, including Kimmeridgian marl, siliceous clay, and villiers limestone. Their approach focuses on continually improving the quality of the wines through sustainable practices, using a minimal number of products to treat the vines against disease.
