Chahut et Prodiges

After studying history and working in journalism and marketing, Grégory Leclerc found his way to wine through the Loire’s natural-wine growers. He established Chahut et Prodiges in 2007 on 6.5 hectares at Chargé, in the hills near Amboise. He grows Chenin, Sauvignon, Gamay, Côt and Grolleau.

The vineyards have been farmed organically from the start, with soil cultivation and efforts to reduce copper treatments. Clay-limestone soils predominate, with clay and flint beneath the old Grolleau vines and silt in the Chenin parcels.
