About Dom d'Orfeuilles
Producer Story
Located on the old outbuilding of a medieval castle that no longer exits, Domaine d’Orfeuilles was founded in 1947 by Paul Herivault. The vineyard now covers almost 20 hectares in the communes of Chançay and Reugny, and is now cultivated by Bernard Herivault and his son Arnaud. They make every effort to maintain the traditions in the cultivation of the vines as well as in production of their wines.The Chenin variety is grown on clayey limestone soil with a high density of flint stone. This situation, specific for our vineyard, gives our wines an unmistakable characteristic “flinty taste”. We produce sparkling wines with the traditional method and still wines that, depending on the year’s climate can be dry, medium dry, sweet and sometimes liqueur-like for certain vintages.
