Domaine Mélaric is comprised of Mélanie and Aymeric, both with extensive experience in the wine world before settling in the Loire region in 2006. They set up shop in the beautiful Saumur area, Puy Notre-Dame, gradually acquiring their 4 hectares of vines. It's a hill with magnificent tuffeau soils, highly sought after for their minerality, and where more and more young winemakers are settling! Their organic-biodynamic approach to work, along with gentle and patient aging practices, brings purity and minerality.
