Based North-East of Nantes, third generation winemaker Bernard Landron and his brother Jo Landron started winemaking and initially in bulk. It wasn’t until 2010 when Bernard’s son Benoît returned from University after studying viticulture and oenology, they converted to organic. In 2017 they moved to the town of Oudon to farm the 25 hectares of vines and open a new cellar, and they now have 35 hectares in total.
