Extract from the article, by Henri-Noël Lagrandeur: A vocation and an ambition "(...) Every effort is made to produce great wines. The soil is ploughed and sown for three years, one row in two, with a mixture of "organic" seeds to structure the soil, fix nitrogen and return it to the roots. In May, the winegrowers roll down the weeds to create a mulch to protect the soil from evaporation. Luc plants fruit trees in his vineyards and also encourages the presence of colonies of loca...

The guide La Tulipe Rouge gives us its comments on 3 Terra Vita Vinum wines. Starting with the Pavillon 2019 a single plot wine, Which is seductive. Here is the tasting commentary: "Intensity and originality from the nose: complex perfumes, vanilla, mirabelle plums, cereals and a smoky touch (almost reminiscent of the Vouvray chenins). Full-bodied, dense and finely creamy, the material tightens around an ineffable "mineral" sensation, betraying a most promising future. Beautif...

Grandes Rogeries, Terra Vita Vinum's color-blind cuvée This week, Alicia Dorey, editorial manager - Figaro wines, highlights Grandes Rogeries 2019 'This week, a confusing Savennières chenin with corks waxed with mystery.

Grand Vau 2019 - Anjou Blanc Tasting Comment: Beautiful bright pale color with greenish hues. The tasters underline together the race and the purity of this refreshing nose where the aromas of citrus fruits, minerality and quince jelly are associated in a beautiful harmony. A bouquet that invites you to taste it. Without waiting, this sharp as a blade cuvée puts the mouth under tension by the insistence of its citrus flavors (mandarin, lemon). Carried by a very nice balance of vivacity and me...
