Domaine Jourdan, based in Cravant-les-Coteaux in the Loire Valley, has cultivated its Chinon terroirs since 1983. Its mosaic of parcels across Cravant, Panzoult and Brizay focuses on Cabernet Franc and Chenin Blanc, including a rare 1.5 hectares of Chenin within the appellation. The domaine has long pursued environmentally respectful viticulture and explores biodynamic practices. Since 2022, it has been led by Laurent Dumas, supported by Annick and Francis Jourdan and a young, motivated team. Cédric Monory, with more than 40 harvests in Chinon and Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil, directs operations. The wines aim to express the diversity of their sites through elegant, delicate and generous styles.
