Date : 2021.06.01

Shanghai, June 1st, 2021 – East Meets West Fine Wines (Shanghai) Limited (EMW) and Domaine La Grange Tiphaine, an organic domaine of Loire, France, signed an exclusive Distribution Agreement for Greater China, including Hong Kong & Macau.

The Story: To Taste Nature

For this fully organic estate, run by Coralie and Damien Delecheneau since 2002, the keyword is 'respect': respect for the soil, for nature, for historical techniques and a demanding fruit.  Domaine de la Grange Tiphaine has 10 hectares of vines across two terroirs: Montlouis-sur-Loire and Touraine-Amboise. It was created at the end of the 19th century by Alfonse Delecheneau and has stayed in family hands ever since:

"To taste these wines is to truly taste nature."

 

Owner: Damien & Coralie

Damien is the fifth generation to work this land. He took over from his father, growing grapes in Montlouis-sur-Loire and Amboise. After two decades he now crafts nearly a dozen award-winning wines that evoke the terroir in its purest sense. Damien has a rare, scientific approach to natural winemaking, from the hands-off approach in the vineyard to the low technology design of the winery.

 

The Place: France, Loire

The Delecheneau family grow five varieties of grape: Chenin Blanc, Malbec, Gamay, Cabernet Franc and Grolleau. Many of the vines are over 100 years old. All of these factors make for balanced, elegant and precise white and sparkling.

The domain obtained AB (Ecocert) certification in 2007 and Biodynamic (Biodyvin) in 2014.

 

About La Grange Tiphaine

La Grange Tiphaine was created at the end of the 19th century by Alfonse Delecheneau, followed by three generations: Adrien, Jackie and now, Damien. He brings a level of scientific precision to natural winemaking that we haven’t seen in many others. As of 2008 Coralie, Damien’s wife, joined the family as a fully active partner in the life and work of their 15-hectare vineyard. The wines are in the AOCs of Touraine-Amboise and Montlouis-sur-Loire and are all different, but they all share the common thread of careful work in the vines that make for beautifully balanced, terroir driven, precise wines.
