Antoine and Carolyn new home for Domaine du Collier
Last week we dropped into to see Antoine Foucault and Carolyn Boireau at Domaine du Collier's new premises in Saumoussay, close to St-Cyr-en-Bourg. They were just finishing the 2017 harvest – dealing with the remaining grapes. Unfortunately they lost some 30% of the harvest to frost but the quality of the Cabernet they were sorting through looked good.
Antoine and Carolyn founded Domaine du Collier back in 1999 using the cellar under Antoine's parents (Charly and Françoise Foucault) house in Chacé. They have seven hectares in Brézé. In the autumn of 2015 they bought this extensive property in Saumoussay. Before he died in late December 2015 Charly advised Antoine where he should put the winery equipment. The property includes an extensive cave, which we did not see this time but hopefully will do on another visit.
