MARIE THIBAULT, Azay-le-Rideau, Touraine
Certified Organic, Natural
Not from a winemaking family, but with degrees in biology and oenology, Marie Thibault began making wine in the early 2000s. She worked for a time at François Chidaine in Montlouis, where she fell in love with Chenin Blanc. In 2011, she founded her own 3.5-hectare Domaine in Azay-le-Rideau, a lesser known environ of the Touraine appellation. While in some sense this is a new beginning for Marie, she has over a decade of experience making wine and benefits from strong relationships with many growers in the region such as Frantz Saumon. The wines see no additives other than a tiny addition of S02 before bottling, if any is added at all.
