Domaine Le Capitaine sits in the Vouvray appellation on the northern bank of the Loire, a region devoted to Chenin Blanc and its expressive range of styles. The estate farms vineyards planted mainly on clay and gravel over tuffeau limestone, and uses traditional methods for its sparkling wines, reflecting the classic character of the local terroir. In recent decades the domaine has expanded its plantings and passed through generations of the Le Capitaine family, maintaining a focus on precise vineyard work and a straightforward, Loire‑centric style.
