Located near Amboise in the Loire Valley, Domaine La Grange Tiphaine has become one of the region’s leading biodynamic estates. Under the direction of Damien and Coralie Delecheneau, the domaine produces expressive, terroir-driven wines that combine purity, energy and a deep respect for nature.
The Estate
The estate was established by the Delecheneau family and is now managed by Damien and Coralie, who took over in 2002. Spread across Montlouis-sur-Loire and Touraine-Amboise, the domaine covers approximately 16 hectares of vineyards farmed according to biodynamic principles. Their work has helped position La Grange Tiphaine among the Loire’s most respected producers of natural, site-specific wines.
Vineyards and Terroir
The vineyards are planted on a mosaic of clay, limestone, flint and sandy soils that define the diversity of the Loire Valley. Chenin Blanc thrives in Montlouis-sur-Loire, while Côt, Cabernet Franc, Gamay and Grolleau flourish in Touraine-Amboise. Some parcels contain vines over a century old, contributing depth, concentration and complexity. The combination of cool climate conditions and limestone-rich soils brings freshness, minerality and remarkable ageing potential.
Winemaking
Minimal intervention guides every stage of production. Fermentations occur naturally with indigenous yeasts, while ageing takes place in concrete tanks, large oak vessels and neutral barrels according to the needs of each wine. The objective is transparency, allowing grape variety and vineyard site to remain at the forefront. Biodynamic farming and careful cellar work create wines of precision and authenticity.
Wine Style
The wines are vibrant, textured and expressive. Chenin Blanc delivers mineral tension, citrus freshness and remarkable longevity, while the reds combine bright fruit, spice and freshness. Across the range, the wines reflect the distinctive character of the Loire and the domaine’s commitment to purity and balance.
