The Story

The flagship family estate in La Haye Fouassière was started in 1948 by Gérard’s father, Gustave. Today this wine is made from the 30 hectare estate on the slopes of the Sèvre Nantaise River in La Haye Fouassière, with rocky soils composed of mica-schists, gneisses, and amphibolites.

About Domaines Vinet

Producer Story

Gustave Vinet, Gérard’s father, acquired the family’s first four hectares in 1948, in the village of La Haye-Fouassière, after World War II. He called the property Domaine de la Quilla, after a local tree, used for medicinal tea. In 1980, his son, Gérard, officially took over the Domaine. Today Laurence and Gérard cultivate 55 ha with 4 distinct properties using sustainable agriculture (certified HVE and Terra Vitis) in the heart of the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation. The village of La Haye-Fouassière is the genesis of the appellation.
