This family-run 15-hectare estate is devoted to growing typical Loire varietals such as Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay, all organically farmed. Surrounded by beautifully rolling landscapes, the vineyard benefits from a unique terroir of limestone and flint clay soils, which give its wines a specific minerality and finesse. Each vine is carefully tended with particular attention to environmental respect. From pruning to harvesting, all is done manually, and only natural treatments are used to ensure the health of the vines and the purity of the grapes. The Jean Baptiste Thibault Estate produces a diverse range of wines. Whether they are the fresh and aromatic whites, the velvet and balanced reds, or the fruity and refreshing rosés, they all reflect the particular expression of the Loire terroir and the Thibault family's love for the vine. The vaulted cellar, dug into the tuffeau, houses these precious nectars during their aging, providing an ideal setting for tasting. In addition to producing remarkable wines, the Jean Baptiste Thibault Estate is also appreciated for its commitment to sustainable tourism.

  • Pinot Noir

Discover the grape variety: Pinot gris

Pinot Gris is a grey grape variety mutated from Pinot Noir. It has its origins in Burgundy, where it is called pinot-beurot in reference to the colour of the grey robes worn by the monks of the region. Established in Alsace since the 17th century, pinot gris was called tokay until 2007. It is made up of bunches of small berries that vary in colour from pink to blue-grey. It is particularly well suited to the continental climate because it is resistant to the cold in winter and to spring frosts. This variety also likes dry limestone soils with plenty of sunshine in the summer. Pinot Gris is well suited to late harvesting or to the selection of noble grapes, depending on the year and the concentration of sugars in the berries. Pinot Gris wines are distinguished by their aromatic complexity of white fruits, mushrooms, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, etc., and their great finesse. In the Loire Valley, pinot gris is used in the Coteaux-d'Ancenis appellations. It gives dry or sweet wines with pear and peach aromas.

Discover the grape variety: Cabernet franc

Cabernet Franc is one of the oldest red grape varieties in Bordeaux. The Libourne region is its terroir where it develops best. The terroirs of Saint-Emilion and Fronsac allow it to mature and develop its best range of aromas. It is also the majority in many blends. The very famous Château Cheval Blanc, for example, uses 60% Cabernet Franc. The wines produced with Cabernet Franc are medium in colour with fine tannins and subtle aromas of small red fruits and spices. When blended with Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, it brings complexity and a bouquet of aromas to the wine. It produces fruity wines that can be drunk quite quickly, but whose great vintages can be kept for a long time. It is an earlier grape variety than Cabernet Sauvignon, which means that it is planted as far north as the Loire Valley. In Anjou, it is also used to make sweet rosé wines. Cabernet Franc is now used in some twenty countries in Europe and throughout the world.
