France
La Grange Tiphaine is a fifth-generation family estate in the Loire Valley, run by Damien and Coralie Delecheneau since the 2002 vintage. Based in Montlouis-sur-Loire and Touraine-Amboise, the domaine is certified organic by Ecocert and biodynamic by Biodyvin, with a strong focus on respect for inherited soils, nature and traditional vineyard work. The couple farm with natural preparations, horse work in the vines, and careful water management, while the cellar is designed for gentle gravity-flow handling and parcel-by-parcel élevage. Their philosophy is to interpret each terroir with precision, humility and minimal intervention, producing wines known for purity, finesse, elegance and drinkability.
