Domaine Bernard Fleuriet is a family-run estate in the Centre-Loire, founded in 1991 by Bernard Fleuriet and still owned by the Fleuriet family. Based in the Loire Valley, it works vineyards in Sancerre, Menetou-Salon and a small parcel in Amigny, on flint, caillottes and argilo-calcaire soils. The domaine is now led by Bernard’s sons, Benoît, who oversees viticulture, and Matthieu, the chief winemaker. Farming is low-yield, hand-harvested, with no weed-killers used. The estate has practiced organic viticulture since 2013, received organic certification in 2016, and later earned Demeter biodynamic certification in 2021/2022.
