About the estate

The Domaine du Saut au Loup - Eric Santier estate is located in Ligré within the Loire Valley and has cultivated its vineyards across the slopes of the Vienne Valley for three generations. The winery places strong emphasis on authenticity, respect for soil life, and a commitment to natural viticulture without artificial enhancements. The estate's plots feature a mosaic of clay-limestone and clay-siliceous soils situated on the left bank of the Vienne River. The primary grape variety grown is Cabernet Franc, producing precise, structured, and elegant wines within the Chinon appellation. Wine publications such as the Revue du Vin de France and Vins & Terroirs Authentiques regularly highlight the freshness, juicy texture, and ageing potential of the estate's cuvées.

The eno directory lists 9 wines, mostly from Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc. Export markets include Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands and Germany.
