Agnès et René Mosse

Created in 1999 by Agnès and René Mosse, the estate located in Saint-Lambert du Lattay, is made up of 15 hectares in the communes of Saint Lambert du Lattay, Beaulieu sur Layon and Savennières. Before becoming vignerons, the Mosse had owned a wine-bar/retail shop hybrid in Tours. They credit the great vignerons they met there, among them Jo Pithon and François Chidaine, as the impetus to become winemakers. The couple studied viticulture and oenology at the agricultural lycée in Amboise where two of their teachers were Thierry Puzelat (Clos du Tue-Boeuf) and Christian Chaussard (Domaine le Briseau).

After graduating, the Mosse spent two years working in Côte-de Beaune before buying their estate in St-Lambert in 1999. Today it is the turn of their sons Sylvestre and Joseph to continue the adventure. The vines have been cultivated organically since 1999, the wines are vinified with minimal intervention in the cellar, fermentation is natural and long aging is done in barrels or tuns.
