Producer Domaine Nöella Morantin

FRANCE, LOIRE

Noëlla Morantin's adventure in the world of winemaking began in 2001, after a meeting with a viticulture professor. An expert in marketing, she began working in 2004 for the Domaine Les Bois Lucas, in the Touraine area, in the heart of the Loire Valley and, later in 2008, for Didier Barrouillet, of Clos Roche Blanche. It is from him that her solo adventure begins, when, in 2009, she decides to rent 8.5 hectares of vineyards located in Pouille, a small town in the French region of the Loire. Here on a clayey soil and limestone rock, plants of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Gamay grow, which offer a sublime result. Even in the cellar its main value persists: it chooses to be free from chemicals and manipulations, with the aim of producing a wine that is as natural as possible, which leads it to obtain great results thanks to its perseverance, but above all thanks to its free choice to follow a pure passion.
