DOMAINE DE LA PAGERIE - Baptiste POINTEREAU

Our grapevines are located in the middle of the REUILLY AOC region

They possess a wonderful history and a terroir rich in flavour, where the notion of sensory pleasure really comes into its own.

After the acquisition of Domaine Guy Malbète in 2017, our soils are made of clay limestone, sandy loam and siliceous pebbles and, for our most elevated grapevines, sandy gravel. The winery now spans 12 hectares of grapevines, the oldest of which were planted by Domaine Malbète in 1970.

Following in the footsteps of our predecessor Guy Malbète, we work our soil to ensure our grapes feature the best aspects of our terroir. But we have also added our own touch, using only organic fertilizers in order to protect the organisms living in our soils. The use of mating disruption techniques avoids the need for insecticides. Lastly, we only protect our vineyard against diseases when necessary so that our grapes can end their growing cycles at optimal maturity. Now we have an Organic Certification.

We only derive satisfaction from the care and passion that we bring to our wines, produced on this RICH LAND, through the pleasure and desire they elicit in you to get to know us, talk about us and renew your loyalty to our brand.

APELLATION REUILLY

The Reuilly wine region extends over nearly 300 hectares in the Indre and Cher Departments.
Planted on gently sloping hillsides, the grapevines flourish in marly limestone soils, overlooked by terraces of sand and gravel which receive plenty of sunshine. That exposure along the banks of the Arnon and the Cher releases the full expressiveness of nicely matured wines.
As the Berry’s emblematic wine region, Reuilly has long sustained deep roots in the history of Centre-Loire wines. Legend has it that, in the 7th century, King Dagobert donated his fields, grapevines and meadows in the region to the monks of the Royal Abbey of Saint-Denis outside Paris.
Reuilly shares its use of Sauvignon and Pinot Noir grapes with the other AOCs in its winemaking region: Quincy, Menetou-Salon, Sancerre and Pouilly-Fumé.
