LES ERRANCES

LOIRE | FRANCE

Les Errances, or “Wanderings”, is the small winery of Warren and Maïté Perrocheau in Rablay-sur-Layon. The couple met in Rennes in 2009, and after backpacking around the world from Mexico to Sweden, they ended up in Paris when they returned home.

After a few years of detour in a corporate environment, they decide to move to the Loire Valley to create a slower and more natural lifestyle.

After completing their viticultural studies and gaining experience with some of the region's big names, they founded Les Errances in 2018.

They currently farm 6 hectares with mixed varieties, while also buying small amounts of grapes from organic producers such as Alain Bore and David Landron. Their farming is characterized by attention to small details and a permaculture approach. They strive to help the diversity of plants and trees both in the vineyards and in the areas surrounding them. Adherents of minimal intervention in the cellar, their wines are created by long fermentation, in the presence of natural wild yeasts and by combining fermentation vessels. Minimal sulfur is only used in the wines if the given vintage requires it.
