Thomas Boutin is based in the mid-part of the Loire where he started exploring winemaking in 2008, with only 1.8 hectares. By 2011, he secured a winery and vines from his mentor and has progressively built up to a humble, small-scale operation. Thomas farms 2 hectares in Rochefort-sur-Loire and 1 hectare in Saint Aubin and to our eyes is constantly evolving as a winemaker, experimenting in styles whilst learning and finding his own rhythm. His wines are made without any use of chemicals, are unfined and unfiltered and little use of sulphur.

Coming off 5 different plots - 2 old vines sections aged 60-70 years old, planted a little after the second world war. The other 3 plots are more recent between 20-30 years old, usually picked a week or so ahead of. A very long one year ferment takes place, leaving the wine with loads of texture and complexity.

wild, salty and electric, with ripe citrus, smoky minerals and ripping acidity.
