Milène & Séverin Chollet – Committed winegrowers in the Loire Valley
Exceptional Pouilly Fumé to enjoy at Aux 20 Plaisirs or to take away from the cellar
Based in Pouilly-sur-Loire, in the heart of the prestigious Loire Valley, Milène and Séverin Chollet passionately carry on the history of the family estate. Brother and sister, they represent the 3rd generation to keep these magnificent appellations alive, namely Pouilly-Fumé and Pouilly-sur-Loire.
Between tradition and modernity, they breathe new momentum into the estate while deeply respecting their heritage.
A family estate modernised with conviction
Today, the estate extends over 14 hectares of vines cultivated using biodynamic farming.
The first vintage certified biodynamic is 2024, marking a significant milestone in the estate’s evolution.
Séverin has been able to energise and modernise practices while preserving the family soul. Their commitment is all the more remarkable given that they are only 3 winegrowers out of around 150 in Pouilly Fumé to work in organic / biodynamic farming.
A demanding choice that naturally resonates with the selection of ’Aux 20 Plaisirs.
Natural, terroir-respecting viticulture
At Milène and Séverin Chollet’s, the philosophy is clear:
- Working the vines as naturally as possible
- No chemical inputs
- Use of indigenous yeasts
- Winemaking that respects the grapes
- Ageing in stainless-steel tank to preserve freshness and tension
- Very light filtration
Here, the product, the terroir and the pure expression of Sauvignon blanc are respected.
Modern, precise wines in tune with the times
The estate produces several cuvées of Pouilly-Fumé, including single-parcel cuvées which you will soon be able to find Aux 20 Plaisirs.
They also produce a Nature cuvée, with no sulphur or added sulphites, produced in very small quantities to meet a growing demand for ever more authentic wines.
The wines stand out for:
- their freshness
- their finesse
- their minerality
- their modern balance
High-quality cuvées that perfectly meet current expectations of lovers of lively and precise wines.
A human-sized estate
Today, three people are employed on permanent contracts on the estate, ensuring rigorous monitoring and controlled production.
It is possible to visit the estate by appointment if you are passing through this magnificent wine-growing region full of surprises.
