Vine Revival: Vineyards
Vincent Caillé (pictured) is located in Monnières, right on the banks of the Sèvre. All the vines are located nearby, being parcels Vincent has long been familiar with, predating the arrival of Christelle and the creation of Vine Revival. While Christelle is the face of Vine Revival, Vincent looks after the vines on a day-to-day basis, ultimately supervising the harvest and vinifications, with regular contact or visits from Christelle. The first vintage for this new partnership was 2014.
They started off with just 1 hectare of vines, planted on a bedrock of gneiss, for the Terre de Gneiss cuvée. These vines were planted in 1954. To this beginning Vincent and Christelle have since added a new cuvée, Terre de Gabbro, sourced from seven tiny parcels of vines, all of which are located on gabbro soils.
