HISTORY OF THE ESTATE

Philippe Orion created Domaine La Barbinière in 1978 on his father's existing 2 hectares of vines. In 2005 his sons took over the estate and worked to have their know-how recognized. In 2011, Chantonnay was finally recognized as the new Fiefs Vendéens AOC. The winegrowers have been cultivating the vines organically since 2015. They offer us elegant and fresh wines. These organic wines will be perfect for all your moments of conviviality.
