Our partners and suppliers

Our family winery is located in the Loire Valley, in the small village of Chançay, which is one of 8 villages where Vouvray wines are made.  Alain and Christiane Robert both grew up in the village, in wine-makers' families, and in 1973 they decided to found their own company. Later they were joined by their two children - Cyril in 2000 and Catherine in 2013.

We mostly produce produce Vouvray wines, both sparkling and still, as well as two other types of sparkling wines, under the DO Cremant de Loire and Touraine.

It's always been a tradition to welcome people at our winery, for wine tastings and visits of the rock-hewn cellar. Since 2014 Myriam, Cyril's wife, has increased the offer by organising a diversity of wine tours and wine tastings in the vineyard under the name 'Rendez-Vous dans les Vignes'.

Millière Raboton is a local organisation made of men and women that are all passionate about the Loire river. All year long, they offer rides on the river, on traditional wooden boats called 'toues'. These flat-bottomed boats were used until the mid-19th century to transport all sorts of goods - wine included - up and down the river.

The boat rides, led by professional and local pilots, offer visitors the opportunity to discover the history of the river, the plants and animals found in its environment... They are also a good way to look at the river from a different perspective.

Since 2017, Myriam from Rendez-Vous dans les Vignes et Millière Raboton have been organising evenings combining boat rides and wine and food tastings on the river. For a unique and unforgettable experience, in a magical and majestic setting.

To get an idea of what those evenings can be like, here is a little video filmed by one of the pilots, on a lovely day of June 2018.
