Dominique Joseph embodies the 4th generation of winemakers at the head of property. He took over the family estate, Le petit Saint Vincent, in 1990 and managed to bring his own style to the wines.
The estate is settled in the heart of AOC Saumur Champigny in the small village of Varrains near The city of Saumur. The vines, aged from 30 to 80 years, are mostly planted in cabernet franc on clay and limestone soils. Dominique Joseph produces fruitful, subtle outstanding red wines. He also produces a dry white wine with such a nice richness and length.
Since 2005, Dominique Joseph had been using vineyard techniques that help maintain the balance of nature. He used to work with the least harmful treatments at the proper time. According to this philosophy, he has launched into organic wine and the estate is now certified since 2014.
