The TOP winemakers of Loire

The Story of Thomas Batardière

Thomas Batardière was not destined to become a winemaker. Born in Angers in 1980, he initially pursued a path in anthropology and cinema. However, his passion for natural wines led him to change course in 2008, while working as a sommelier. Shortly afterwards, he joined Château Yvonne in Saumur, under the guidance of Mathieu Vallée, to refine his knowledge of viticulture.

In 2012, after several years of learning, Thomas decided to embark on his own winemaking venture. He acquired 2 hectares of vines in Rablay-sur-Layon, in the Layon valley, a region renowned for its Chenins. He began his winemaking project without a cellar or a tractor, but with a clear ambition: to produce authentic, no-nonsense wines. From the very beginning, he adopted a biodynamic approach and obtained Demeter certification in 2015. Today, the estate extends over 4 hectares, where Thomas grows primarily Chenin Blanc, but also Cabernet Franc and Grolleau.

Terroirs and Vines of Thomas Batardière

The domaine de Thomas Batardière stretches mainly across the hillsides of Rablay-sur-Layon and Faye-d'Anjou. This territory is characterized by schist soils, volcanic rocks and quartz, which impart a great minerality to the estate's wines. The diversity of the terroirs allows Thomas to craft cuvées that perfectly reflect the specificities of each plot.

L'Esprit Libre comes from vines aged 15 to 90 years old, grown on sandy and gravelly soils.

Les Cocus, one of the most emblematic plots, is situated on a south-facing slope, composed of clay and schist. The vines, planted in 1968, produce grapes of great intensity.

Les Noëls de Montbenault, a rare volcanic domaine de in the region, has been planted with young vines since 2014.

These vines, cultivated according to biodynamic principles, benefit from meticulous care to preserve the natural balance of the soils and plants. Thomas Batardière uses environmentally respectful farming practices, completely banning the use of chemical herbicides.

Winemaking at Thomas Batardière

The estate's winemaking philosophy is based on a low-intervention approach, aimed at expressing the full potential of the grape and the terroir. Thomas Batardière lets nature take its course, with spontaneous fermentations and no added yeasts.

Fermentations take place mainly in stainless steel tanks, promoting the purity and freshness of the wines.

The ageing periods are extended, and Thomas experiments with longer elevages to minimise the use of sulphur. When necessary, very small doses of sulphites are added just before bottling.

The goal is to produce unfiltered wines that preserve all their vitality and authenticity. Each vinification is adapted to the plot and the year, thus allowing all the nuances of the Anjou terroirs to be revealed.

The cuvées of Thomas Batardière

L'Esprit Libre

Crafted from several plots of Chenin Blanc, this cuvée is a true tribute to the purity of the grape variety. The 2022 vintage stands out for its freshness and aromatic intensity, with notes of pear and lemon blossom. A vibrant, direct and mineral wine.

Les Cocus

From a single plot planted in 1968, this cuvée offers a denser and more complex profile. Fermented in used 500-litre barrels, this wine reveals aromas of ripe fruits, blended with a saline minerality. It is a wine of great ageing potential, capable of improving with time.

Les Noëls de Montbenault

This volcanic plot gives rise to a powerful and structured Chenin Blanc. The cuvée requires a little more time in the bottle to open up fully, but it promises a remarkable tasting experience, combining grace and energy.

Grand Clos

A special cuvée crafted from young vines planted on an eroded terroir in Rablay-sur-Layon. This dry Chenin Blanc, bottled exclusively in Magnum, expresses the full minerality of the soil, with a beautiful concentration of stone fruits.

Amor Fati

A light and floral red Grolleau, marked by aromas of red fruits and a delicate acidity. This wine is often slightly reductive upon opening, but it opens up quickly to reveal all its complexity.

Here is a selection of vintages that illustrate the estate's expertise and the richness of its terroirs: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013…

The Loire Valley region is an inexhaustible source of exceptional wines. If you appreciate the wines of Thomas Batardière, here are other estates such as Richard Leroy, Mark Angeli, Mai & Kenji Hodgson, Stéphane Bernaudeau…

Thomas Batardière stands out as one of the most promising estates in Anjou, thanks to a rigorous and terroir-respectful approach. The Chenin Blanc cuvées on offer are pure and vibrant expressions of the Layon valley, delivering wines of great finesse and energy. Whether you are a lover of natural wines or characterful white Chenins, the wines of Thomas Batardière will captivate you with their authenticity and depth.
