Winegrower in the Loire Valley, we have the desire to promote all the appellations of the Loire Valley from the Pays Nantais to the Centre-Loire, via Anjou-Saumur and Touraine.
Vinaloire favors independent winegrowers who respect the environment.
Our passion has enabled us to come up with a selection of wines with great organoleptic qualities and fully reflecting the different Loire terroirs.

Terra Vitis Label
A demanding wine certification:
-
Terra Vitis certification is recognized by the French Ministry of Agriculture and Food. It is based on demanding specifications, drawn up based on the objectives of responsible viticulture and the realities of the field. It is created by and for winegrowers and winemakers.
-
This certification includes checkpoints at all stages of production, from planting the vines to bottling, including the vinification of the grapes.
-
This certification is annual, so the farms are checked every year to maintain their distinction, and all wines from the current vintage can be certified Terra Vitis
Organic farming label

exclusion of synthetic chemicals
-
the exclusion of GMOs (for wines without appellation, PDOs being automatically GMO-free)

Agriculture label biodynamic
In addition to being certified organic, Demeter wines meet additional requirements both in terms of grape production and vinification. Biodynamic preparations based on plants, minerals and organic materials are used and the number of techniques and inputs allowed are limited. As in organic farming, the control of each estate and each cuvée is carried out annually.
