Based in Fougères sur Bièvre, France, Domaine de Veilloux is a family-owned estate of 20 hectares of vineyards. Natural principles (certified organic) are used, with a great caer of the various local grape varieties (Menu Pineau, Sauvignon blanc, Gamay...). the soils are mainly made of clay but with little differences according the plot considered (clay with sands, with flint...). The domaine is owned by Michel & Sylviane Quanioux, with their son Arnaud.
