👨🏼‍🌾 Vin Blanc réalisé par Dominique Dufour. 

Dominique Dufour s’impose depuis plusieurs millésimes déjà comme l’un des vignerons les plus talentueux de Rablay-sur-Layon. Sa seule et unique cuvée est un Chenin sec sur le terroir des Aussigouins. Les vignes, cultivées sur des sols argilo-calcaires, confèrent au vin une minéralité prononcée. Le millésime 2023 se distingue par sa fraîcheur et ses arômes marins, de pomme verte et de fleurs blanches. Par rapport aux millésimes précédents, 2023 offre une acidité plus vive et une complexité aromatique accrue. Il accompagnera parfaitement les fruits de mer par exemple, mais nous vous conseillons de le garder en cave quelques années pour en profiter pleinement.

Le Domaine Dominique Dufour est situé à Rablay-sur-Layon, au cœur de l'Anjou. Après une carrière d’ingénieur dans l’aéronautique, Dominique Dufour revient sur ses terres natales en 2014 pour se consacrer à la viticulture. Il s’installe sur une parcelle de 70 ares sur le terroir des Aussigouins, un secteur prisé où il cultive exclusivement du chenin blanc. Attaché à une approche naturelle, il pratique une viticulture biologique sans certification, privilégiant des interventions minimales pour préserver l’expression pure du terroir. Les rendements sont volontairement bas, et depuis 2018, aucun sulfite n’est ajouté lors de la vinification. Sa seule cuvée, Experto R 2023, est un chenin blanc élevé en vieilles barriques, dont certaines proviennent du Château Haut-Brion. Ce vin dévoile une belle tension, une texture soyeuse et une complexité aromatique qui séduisent les amateurs de vins d’artisan. Le Domaine Dominique Dufour incarne ainsi le parcours d’un passionné, proposant un vin rare et recherché, fidèle à l’identité singulière de l’Anjou.

Who are we ?

Created in 2010, Vinograf was taken over in July 2024 by Clara & Baptiste. With their experience with Marée Haute, they work to perpetuate Vinograf's strong commitments: a careful selection of established or novice artisan winemakers, all driven by the concern for excellence in their practices, in the magnification of terroirs and the search for authenticity of taste.

Several specifications correspond to these names. If we very often hear about sulphites, rightly accused of giving a headache, many other products can be used in the composition of so-called conventional wines.
Here is an overview of the different organic, biodynamic and natural specifications:
The organic specifications (AB label) prohibit any use of synthetic chemicals in the vineyards and in the winery. However, it allows some oenological crutches during winemaking. Sulfites, for example, are tolerated up to 100 mg/L for red wines and 150 mg/L for whites.

In biodynamics (Demeter or Biodyvin label), the winemaker not only works without synthetic chemicals, but also takes into account the lunar calendar for all the operations he carries out. He will also use biodynamic preparations (fermented horn dung, silica, plant herbal tea, etc.) to strengthen the vines. Overall, the winegrower seeks to include the cultivation of the vine in a global environment. Sulphites can go up to 70 mg/L for reds and 90 mg/L for whites.

In natural wine (Vin Method Nature label), the specifications specify the use of organic grapes, fermenting naturally using native yeasts (as in biodynamics). Natural wines see no input during all vinification and aging. Only minimum doses of SO2 are permitted (30 mg/L maximum), and must be mentioned by the winemaker. No brutal filtration or wine alteration techniques are permitted. We also find the name SAINS Wines which aims to completely prohibit the use of sulphites.

We strive to offer you wines from artisan wines, from estates on a human scale and often family-owned. And that's why we take the time to travel across France from vineyard to vineyard in search of these natural wines that thrill us.
We are particularly keen to introduce you to the new winegrowers of tomorrow who work tirelessly to offer us magnificent wines.
We want to highlight them, and allow them to have greater, clearer visibility and wish to accompany them to you!
