Domaine Bariou Bodet | Loire Valley, France

Jennifer Bariou and Thibaut Bodet

When Jennifer Bariou and Thibaut Bodet started in 2015 they had 2.5 hectares, now they cultivate 9 hectares of vines in Azay-le-Rideau in the Loire of France.

They cultivate their organic vines using biodynamic farming principles, and only work with native yeasts while making as few manipulations as possible. Their plots are spread over different terroirs and exposures with diverse soil comprised of clay, flint, and quartz. They use sheep to graze the land and have also planted fruit trees around the estate.
