Hervé Villemade
France
Hervé Villemade comes from brother-sister duo Hervé and Isabelle whose family have farmed in Cheverny in the Loire Valley since the 1930s.
After trying natural wine in the late 1990s Hervé decided to embark on this non-interventionist path and the pair began converting the domaine to organic.
Since, they have been producing a wide variety of quality grapes, rows of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Menu Pineau, Romorantin, Côt, Pinot Noir, Gamay and Chenin Blanc are widely spaced with a focus on retaining the historical vines of the estate while allowing biodiversity to flourish in the form of flowers herbs and grasses.
No sulphur, or as little as possible at bottling, is key to the Villemade wines, that include a classic Pinot Noir x Gamay Rosé, and their success shows the experience of the Domaine at this practice.
