La Jarnoterie
We have known the Mabileau and Rezé family for over 20 years. Carine and her husband Didier Rezé are the fifth generation to make wine at La Jarnoterie and are acknowledged by the leading independent French wine guide Hachette for the consistently high quality of their wine.
But it is the family cellar at La Jarnoterie, the Caves de Cochamtorille, that will captivate your imagination. We will never forget our first visit. Carine's father, Jean-Claude Mabileau, leapt enthusiastically into his car and drove off into his vines. We just managed to keep up. Suddenly he was gone - swallowed up by a gaping hole that seemed to appear from nowhere in the low escarpment. We switched on our headlights and followed. Eventually we came to a large turning area: ahead, the family cellar where the current vintage was gently maturing in the traditional chestnut barrels, to the left a magnificent private banqueting chamber dominated by a huge circular stone table and overlooked by an enormous fireplace. This is where we dine when we visit the vineyard during our Loire weekend!
