Winery: Domaine des Brumes

Domaine des Brumes is the name given by Lucile and Dorian Herlem, a couple passionate about viticulture, to the estate they purchased in 2022 to realize their winemaking project. Their experience in the wine industry led them to choose the Loire region, specifically Saint-Aubin-de-Luigné (now part of Val-du-Layon), an ideal location to express the character of the terroir. Lucile and Dorian's philosophy is based on a sustainable and manual approach: work in the vineyard is done entirely by hand, minimizing interventions in the cellar to preserve the distinctive characteristics of the terroir and the grape variety. Fermentation occurs spontaneously, entrusted to natural yeasts, and aging takes place in various containers, such as steel tanks, fiberglass, barrels, or amphorae, to enhance the wine's natural expressiveness.Lovers of the Chenin grape, they are convinced of the great potential of the Coteaux du Layon region, renowned for its schist soils within the Anjou region, which takes its name from the Layon River. The name "Domaine des Brumes" evokes fog, an element the owners find mysterious, poetic, and enveloping—characteristics they also associate with their wines. The names of their wines reflect this philosophy: for example, "Epipapu" means "there is nothing to add" in dialect, a tribute to Lucile's origins and her years spent in Sancerre, emphasizing the purity and authenticity they seek to express in their creations.
