Leading the charge in the revival of Loire’s Volcanic terroirs, Domaine des Bérioles is at the forefront of this region’s renewal. Jean Teissèdre, with his commitment to biodynamic practices, has quickly made a name for himself, becoming the face of Saint-Pourçain’s renaissance.

His sharp, energetic style delivers reds that are both refined and complex, crafted from Pinot Noir and Gamay, alongside whites that are just as captivating and vibrant, made from Chardonnay and the rare Tressallier—a local grape he’s brought back with finesse.
