ADRIEN DE MELLO

France

Loire

Adrien has elevated vine farming to new heights since settling, obtaining both organic and biodynamic certifications in just a few years. Embracing horse plowing and foraging wild plants like nettle and comfrey for vineyard teas, he meticulously crafts wines marked by clarity, purity, and a focus on expressing each variety's perfume and the schist's minerality. In the cellar, Adrien's light touch involves gentle extractions, revealing nuanced details from the grapes. His fresh, fragrant, and invigorating wines provide a unique expression of Anjou, reflecting his deep connection to the region.
