Guy Allion, Les Parcs

Domaine du Haut Perron has been passed down from father to son for more than 4 generations. Each has helped to expand and improve the quality of its production. Until the 1950s, Cedric’s grandfather, Raymond Allion, cultivated the Domaine in mixed farming like most farms in Touraine. A few hectares of vines, cereals, meadows to feed the horse and other farm animals. It was not until 1968 that his father Guy decided to devote himself gradually only to viticulture. The estate is managed according to the Terra Vitis programme, a codified system which posits not only respect for the environment but knowledge of the land, parcel by parcel. This sensitivity to the environment means that natural rather than chemical solutions can be pursued in the vineyard.
