Domaine de la Paleine

Domaine de la Paleine, which has existed since at least the 18th century, lies at the foot of the Puy-Notre-Dame hill, where vines have been planted since the Middle Ages.

The estate has been an organic winegrower since 2013 and, in a bid to further the natural balance of the vines, has been a Biodynamic winegrower since 2017.

Beneath the estate, 1.5 km of galleries have been dug into the Tuffeau. There, at a temperature of 12°C, more than 100,000 bottles of wine quietly blossom, sheltered from the light. The estate produces wines from the Saumur-Puy-Notre-Dame appellation, of which it is one of the leading players, as well as from other Saumur appellations.

The team, led by Jean-Louis Bernet, welcomes you with enthusiasm to help you discover its wines and share in the day-to-day life of a winemaker.

You can also find Domaine de la Paleine wines at the tasting cellar in Montsoreau. Opening times vary according to the season:
- Winter: open Thursday to Sunday, 11am to 6pm
- Summer: open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am to 6pm
