Domaine Laureau is a small, family-run estate in Savennières, Loire Valley, founded in 1999 by agricultural engineers Damien and Florence Laureau, now joined by their son Martin. They farm 6 hectares of Chenin Blanc, producing around 35,000 bottles annually across five cuvées. Certified organic since 2012, they practice regenerative, biodynamic viticulture, focusing on soil health with homemade composts and minimal interventions. Their non-interventionist winemaking includes aging on lees in various vessels. The domaine is deeply committed to artisanal, hands-on work, celebrating 25 years in 2024, and engages in community initiatives like supporting former detainee reintegration.
