Pierre Breton
The Catherine and Pierre Breton family owns 11 hectares of vineyards east of Bourgueil in the village of Restigné. They produce wine in the appeals Chinon and Bourgueil, as well as Vouvray - wines suitable for early consumption and for aging. The family first introduced biodynamic practices in 1994, immediately after receiving a bio-certificate in 1991. Producers have become international icons for the movement of natural wines in an area where climate and soil can hamper organic viticulture. The wines they produce are from the Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc varieties.

Loire Valley
This is a long and diverse region in western France, adjacent to the Loire River, which produces interesting wines - from charming and fruity to rich and long-lasting. A representative of the red varieties here is Cabernet Franc and the wines from Bougainville and Chinon are excellent, but in fact the white varieties are the specifics of the Loire. The most common are Chenin Blanc (Vouvray), Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet) and Sauvignon Blanc (Sancerre, Pouilly Fumé). Sancerre and Pouilly Fumé have come out of the shadows of their region and can be said to be well known around the world - the former with the typical mineral-herbal character of the wines, and the latter with the greater complexity of the body and aroma due to contact with oak, although the variety is the same - Sauvignon Blanc.

Cabernet Franc
Cabernet Franc is a black-skinned French wine grape variety, most famously known as one of the grapes of classic Bordeaux Blend, where it adds herbaceous accents of tobacco and dark spice. Its varietal wines are light to medium bodied and often show vegetal characteristics, in particular green bell peppers.
