about domaine guy mardon
Father and son winemakers Guy and Jean-Luc Mardon ran the family estate in the heart of Touraine hand to hand for many years. Today Jean-Luc, the fifth generation, has taken over the day to day work.
Jean-Luc Mardon maintains traditional vineyard and winemaking practices. The wine is still aged in the original cellar under the family home in Oisly. Since 1995, the winery has reduced yields and become a member of Terra Vitis, a group that pursues environmentally friendly viticulture, without the use of pesticides. Each parcel is vinified separately before blending.
Domaine Guy Mardon is located on a plateau between the Loir and Cher rivers. An Atlantic climate with low rainfall, ample sun and cool nights, combined with sandy soil over a clay base leads to an excellent acidity and aromatics in their grapes.
