In 1989 Paul Buisse purchased over 173 acres of vineyards in the Touraine appellation, located around the city of Tours and bordering the Loire River - stretching from the Sologne region to the edge of Vienne and Anjou. Today the estate is run by owner and winemaker Pierre Chainier, who has garnered a reputation for crafting some of the best wines in the Touraine appellation. Pioneers in sustainable farming, the Chainier family were among the first to employ green practices. Consequently, vineyards are maintained according to a sustainable agriculture philosophy with the overall ecosystem in mind
