The winemaker

The estate comprises 45 hectares of vines in the Saumur region, including 43 hectares of Cabernet Franc and 2 hectares of Chenin Blanc. In a terroir where tuffeau is king, our vines are planted on a soil composed of clay and limestone.

From the very beginning of his career as a winemaker, Paul has been able to seize the opportunity offered by the Saumur region. Right from his beginnings as a winemaker in 1967, Paul seized the opportunity to choose the way he wanted to grow his vines. At a time when productivity was fashionable, he turned his family's production towards quality. He took the whole Saumur-Champigny appellation with him, and helped create the producers' collective. He became the driving force and ambassador of the Saumur and Saumur-Champigny appellations. Together with his entire team, he has taken up the challenge of a culture that is more respectful of the earth and the plant. Château Fouquet's vines have been certified organic since 1998. This transformation necessitated a total change in the way we worked, with a transition to integrated viticulture and then to organic farming.

A demanding culture, certified by the French Ministry of Agriculture. A demanding culture, certified by the AB organic label, which guarantees that there are no chemical treatments during the production process, either in the vines or during vinification. The team took up the challenge and made the collective choice to go further.

Located in the village of Brézé in the Saumur appellation, Château Fouquet's 11 hectares of Cabernet franc vines, have been cultivated and certified in Biodynamic agriculture since 2017. Since the 2020 vintage, Domaine Filliatreau has been certified organic and is currently undergoing biodynamic conversion via Demeter.
