Domaine de la Foliette: Vineyards
Domaine de la Foliette is located to the north of the Sèvre and north of La Haye-Fouassière. This is a landscape of intermingled vineyards, woodland and residential dwellings. Near neighbours of course include the aforementioned Jo Landron, whose cellars are just ten minutes away by car.
Denis Brosseau has 40 hectares of land at his disposal, although as of 2017 only 36 hectares are in production, the shortfall the result of some recent replanting. This includes 1.5 hectares which meet the criteria for a potential cru communal in La Haye Fouassière (I say ‘potential’ because this cru is a long way from being ratified) although he has just half a hectare committed to this new cuvée at the moment. He is starting slowly, hoping to develop a reputation for the cuvée, and for the nascent cru as a whole, before increasing the area of vines he dedicates to it. The vineyard also includes 3 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc.
