Based in Fougères sur Bièvre, Domaine de Veilloux is a family owned estate of 20 hectares of vineyards.

The original domaine dates back to the 18th century when they produced all kinds of agricultural products like cereal and livestock as well as vines. Today, Domaine de Veilloux is owned by Michel and Silviane Quenioux with their son Arnaud working in the vineyards. The estate is managed according to natural principles using local grape varieties like Menu Pineau, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gamay. The soils are mainly made of clay but there are subtle differences in each plot which influence the final wine. Whilst their wines are delightful in youth, they will benefit from a bit of time to reach their full potential and even the whites are best at 5-10 years of age.
