Barc & Vallée is a Loire Valley domaine in Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher, owned and run by winemakers François-Xavier Barc and Gérald Vallée. The estate is in a voluntary transition toward fully organic farming, though it is not formally certified. In the cellar, they use stainless-steel and wooden tanks with a focus on preserving fruit character. The domaine reflects the backgrounds of its two owners, combining François-Xavier Barc and Gérald Vallée’s hands-on winemaking with experience at Charles Joguet and a family tradition rooted in Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil.
