A winemaking presence in the town of Varrains, in Maine et Loire, for over 200 years, the Hardouin family farms 50 acres of prime Saumur-Champigny vineyards, with son Mickael, having taken over from his father Maurice in 1997, converting their property to biodynamics a few years back. La Piece d'Or is the 5 acre plot, planted entirely to Cabernet Franc, where this wine begins life.
