Founder of Domaine de la Charmoise, Henry Marionnet stands as the undisputed authority in Touraine, with a reputation reaching far beyond the region. He's considered the Gamay kingpin in Touraine, passionately championing modern viticulture while also spotlighting "forgotten varietals" like Gamay de Bouze or pre-phylloxeric Romorantin. This gives him a unique position within the French wine scene.


Also a pioneer in sulfur-free cuvées, a practice he's maintained for over forty years, this intuitive genius, now capably supported by his son Jean-Sébastien, continues to cultivate the art of simplicity and excellence. Their wines are not just approachable but are also brimming with fruit and indulgence. Above all, their creations are the result of an artist's touch, devoted primarily to pure enjoyment.
