Vignerons de Loire: 170 portraits of Independent Winemakers | Jean-Yves Barbin, Pascaline Lepeltier

10 years of road trips from Auvergne to Vendée, passing through all the wine regions of the Loire on 424 pages, it took that much to highlight the 170 winemakers we have chosen. Set up along the Loire and its tributaries, they all work their vineyards and wines in organic, biodynamic, and natural wine methods.

Men and women who fight to live in accordance with their values and who defend the right to make the wines they love. These enthusiasts, proud of their work, contribute to the revival of Loire wines worldwide.

Meeting them, tasting their bottles, trying to understand their approach, following them in their vineyard was more than just a desire, it was a necessity.

Patrick Rigourd and Pascaline Lepeltier explain everything to help you better understand this diverse and multifaceted Loire that crosses fifteen departments.

Patrick Rigourd presents the winemakers and their vintages with simplicity, accuracy, and passion. And to better know who is behind these wines, Jean-Yves Bardin reveals the portraits of these "Free Winemakers."
