DOMAINE MOULIN TURQUAIS

The origins of the property date back to the 18th century. There were two mills on the site, one called the moulin-tour and the other the moulin-cavier, both of which were used for milling. This family estate has been passed down through the generations. Gradually, the vineyard became an important part of the estate. Since 1945, direct sales have grown steadily. Our vineyard covers 38 hectares. It overlooks the commune of Martigné-Briand, and borders the Layon river just a stone's throw away. The vineyard, with an average age of 20 to 30 years, is planted mainly on clay-limestone soils, and includes Chenin, Cabernet-franc and Cabernet-sauvignon, as well as Grolleau and Sauvignon blanc. The climate, tempered by the influence of the Loire Valley, and the micro-climate of the Coteaux du Layon, give the estate an invaluable advantage in making the most of the diversity of its grape varieties and terroirs. We welcome guests from Monday to Saturday, according to our availability and the constraints of our winegrowing profession. Make sure we're there before you come.
