About us
Our philosophy
Domaine du Gerfaut is a young winery, created in 2023 by two passionate managing partners who do not come from wine-growing families. From the beginning, the estate was designed to meet the expectations of professional wine buyers and to develop export markets.
The domaine is located in the Loire Valley, in Anjou, on the Layon hillsides, on a schist terroir that naturally brings freshness, tension and mineral expression to the wines.
Today, the estate covers 17 hectares, with an annual production of around 100,000 bottles. The vineyard is planted with one-third Chenin Blanc, one-third Cabernet Franc and one-third other grape varieties.
Emblematic places
Located in Chalonnes-sur-Loire, a small town, the estate embodies the very essence of the Loire Valley terroir through its vineyards, which stand as living witnesses to this prestigious winegrowing region.
This is reflected in its two distinct vineyard blocks:
-
The first block is located within the Clos de Pierre-cou, a former religious site, with some texts tracing its origins back in Antiquity.
-
The second covers a former schist quarry, once used for the construction of nearby villages.
