Family owned and operated for 8 generations, the Domaine des Mailloches is devoted to sustainable farming of a single grape: Cabernet Franc. Located for over a hundred years in Restigne, in the heart of the Bourgueil appellation, the vines grow on three different soils: sandy clay, gravel, and clay/limestone will each provide subtle, generous and refined wines with lovely fruit content. Bourgueil's AOC was created in 1937 and is located west of Tours, on the right bank of the Loire river. It spreads on 7 towns in the Indre-et-Loire district: Restigne', Benais, Ingrande de Touraine, Saint Patrice, Chouze' sur Loire, La Chappelle sur Loire et Bourgueil, covering about 3460. The Domaine des Mailloches makes for 44.5 acres.

Samuel Demont combines traditional methods with modern technology: Mechanical harvest to keep the grapes as cool as possible and vinification in stainless steel tanks are the basics for the elaboration of the "cuvee Domaine" 2016.
