About Domaine des Trottières
Founded in 1890, Domaine des Trottières is still one of the gems in Anjou and Val-du-Layon. Their entire vineyard (115 hectares) is AOC classified. Initially most of the vineyard was planted with Chenin Blanc. However, after the Phylloxere crisis, the vine growers decided to work with grafted vines and diversify the range. Gamay, Grolleau, Pineau d'Aunis and Cabernet varieties made their appearance. Since 1985, the estate has been owned by the Gourdon family. They provided modernistation of the infrastructure to produce high quality wines to contemporary standards. Domaine des Trottières is also member of Vignerons Lauréats du Concours Général Agricole de Paris and its production techniques meet sustainable farming standards such as Terra Vitis and Haute Valeur Environmentale (HVE).
