France

La Grange Tiphaine is located in Amboise in the heart of Touraine on the Loire and is owned by Damien and Coralie Delechenau. Damien, after studying in Bordeaux and travelling to various wine regions around the world, returned back to France in 2002 to become the 5th generation to take over his family's estates and Coralie followed him with a full-time involvement in the estate since 2008.



La Grange Tiphaine has 17 hectares of vineyards which are split between Amboise and Montlouis-sur-Loire and from the start both Damien and Coralie have been committed to a journey into organic and biodynamic farming.


Both in the vineyard, with the excellent cultivation practices, and in the winery with the adoption of a minimalist approach to winemaking (apart from a few sulphites there is no other kind of intervention) they manage to let the terroir express itself in the best possible way. A few decades later, La Grange Tiphaine is a winery that is among the pioneers of the region and the estate to be an excellent "ambassador" of Touraine and biodynamic farming.



Damien himself is involved in the region's communities and is president of the AOC Montlouis-sur-Loire, reinforcing actions towards vineyard sustainability, banning the use of herbicides by producers in the region but making Montlouis-sur-Loire the first region in France in which pet-nat (petillant-originel) wines as they are called are part of the appellation of origin, with the region establishing specific rules for their production.



They love Côt (Malbec) which has been associated for centuries with their region but produce a wide range of wines from varieties such as Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, which are associated with the specific appellations of origin in which they operate. They have some excellent old vineyards, including one of the oldest Malbec vineyards in the world planted by Damien's grandfather, and currently the estate is responsible for one of the most complete ranges of wines in the region: with dry, near-dry, sweet, rosé, light red and structured reds and sparkling wines of the Loire. All of their wines have an extraordinary purity of expression, tremendous energy and give a sense of the place they come from. Authentic wines with aging potential and excellent value for money.
