Michel & Silviane
Today, Domaine de Veilloux is owned and run by Michel and Silviane Queniou.
"We have replaced chemical weed-killing by working the soil to improve the vines’ rooting systems and microbe life. In order to preserve the expression of the terroir, we make wine without adjunction of yeast and we limit the use of sulphites."

The Place
France, Loire
The soils here are mainly made of clay but with slight differences according to the specific plot (clay with sand or clay with flint). The winemaking is respectful of the fruit and the ageing is usually long, thus producing complex wines that truly reflect the terroir of the Cheverny appellation.
