WINES

Domaine Payen has recently changed hands; young, dynamic and interesting hands at that. Ludovic, the winemaker, has quickly brought what was a struggling family domaine up to date. Bought in 2023, he has already started the process of converting the 27ha of vines to organic farming.

We are really excited to have a tiny allocation of their first vintage of Anjou and Savennières - textured, spicy Chenin at its best. Their Prélud range is incredibly well priced and offers so much for it!
