Portes-ouvertes Florent Deslandes visite vignoble et dégustation des vins

Plantation of 1ha of vines with 3 different grape varieties at Saint Jean sur Mayenne. Wine tasting at the Chai in Montflours. Presentation and discovery of the project to plant vines in Mayenne, how they are vinified and the type of wines produced. Originally from Mayenne, I moved to Anjou in 2009 where I was able to pick my first grapes. Since 2012, I've been training with the Bac and BTS viticulture and oenology apprenticeship in several Domaines in organic viticulture. I went on to do a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Vine and Wine Science in Dijon, specialising in terroir analysis: climatology, geology and pedology. I was able to work in Burgundy with Sylvain Pataille and in technical and scientific institutes. At the Chamber of Agriculture and at INRAE in Montpellier. I also worked as a vineyard manager at Domaine les Grandes Vignes (Vaillant family) in Anjou. I've also been providing advice, training and services in viticultural agronomy for the last 6 years, particularly in neo-viticultural areas. As I'm originally from Mayenne, the idea has always been to plant vines in my home region in the context of climate change. I'm planting 1 hectare this year and I've started to make wine with grapes harvested in Anjou, then bringing it all back to Mayenne to be vinified in its entirety.
