Francois Blanchard

Francois Blanchard came to wine the long way around, touring France as a professional jazz musician before returning to the family land in the Loire to make some of Touraine's most singular natural wines.

Blanchard is a fifth-generation member of a Loire winegrowing family based at Chateau du Perron, just outside the village of Lemere, about forty minutes south of Tours. After years working as a jazz musician in Tours, he returned to the vines and made his first real vintage in 2003, devoting himself fully to natural wine, organic farming and a holistic way of living.

More on how they farm and work in the cellar in our Francois Blanchard producer profile.
