Domaine Théo Blet

Théo is the fourth-generation Saumur winemaker of his family and is slowly taking vines over from his father. Théo is a winemaker and not a vine farmer like his father. Gradually, he is taking the reins of key parcels from the 16-hectare family domaine to make his own-labelled cuvées.

With a deep respect for the land, Théo started organic conversion two years ago on the plots from which he makes his wines. Everything is picked by hand. His 100% Chenin cuvée, La Peyanne, is his flagship wine and a lieu-dit in the commune de Courchamps. Only 3,500 bottles were produced in 2022. Théo also decided to make a 100% Cabernet Franc cuvée called Le Corbin situated in the commune of Ulmes. Only 1,500 bottles were produced in 2022.

Today, La Peyanne and Le Corbin represent one hectare of production, while the remaining grapes continue to be sent to the local cooperative his father has been working with for years. The idea is to expand the production area for Théo’s own domaine label in the coming years. He states that his challenge is re-establishing wine production across the estate to showcase several generations' heritage. With only a few vintages, he is already making noise in the Loire as a young, dynamic grower with big projects in mind. He is certainly one to watch in the coming years.
