8 DOMAINE DES ELEPHANTS
Eight generations of the Boucher family have been making AOC Touraine wines in
the Loire Valley. Today Philippe and Guillaume, father and son, continue the family
tradition at "the Domaine des Elephants". Situated on the north bank of the river
Cher between Chenonceau and Saint Aignan in the heart of the Loire valley and its
magnificent castles, their vineyard occupies 35 hectares of southwest facing
slopes. It is the limestone and flint in the soil that gives the Touraine wines, and
particularly the white sauvignons, their special and much celebrated character. 22 of
their hectares are planted with Sauvignon and the remaining 13 divided into plots of
Gamay, Malbec (known in the region as "Côt"), Cabernet Franc, Chenin and Pineau
d'Aunis.

21 CELLIER DES PRINCES
Created in 1924, the Cellier des Princes is the only cooperative in Chateauneuf du Pape.
A large number of grape
varieties are used in the vinification process– up to thirteen
different varieties for Chateauneuf du Pape. The main
grapes used are Grenache, Syrah and Mourvedre together
with a whole set of ancient varieties. Their wines always
reflect their origin : the famous chateauneuf stones offer
depth and body, dry, hot sandy soils add power and spice,
chalky sandstone gives structure and the siliceous clay hills
produce wines which are rich and round.

versatile enough to be drunk throughout a meal. In 2010 Jacques Lepoigneur
