Marie Thibault

Marie Thibault had no family ties to wine. A biology degree came first, then enology, then an apprenticeship at Domaine François Chidaine in Montlouis-sur-Loire. She struck out on her own in 2004, and by 2010 she had purchased four hectares of old vines in the Touraine-Azay-le-Rideau appellation , one of the Loire's quieter, less-heralded corners , and converted them to organic farming from day one. Ecocert certified since 2014, she produces around 10,000 bottles each year.

Azay-le-Rideau sits in the heart of Touraine, west of Tours along the Indre river. The appellation is small and largely overlooked relative to its neighbors in Vouvray and Chinon, which makes it a natural home for a grower-winemaker more interested in honest expression than prestige. Marie's parcels face south on poor, siliceous, acidic soils , slopes that encourage deep roots and modest yields.
