Our family has grown grapes by the Cher River for eight generations. Edmond Dupuy was a local poacher. In 2024, Franck Meunier and his cousin Jean-Philippe Dupuy reunited estates once owned by their ancestors, naming the new estate Les Braconniers in his honour. Today, we farm 35 hectares in the Loire Valley. We grow our own grapes and make our own wines, combining inherited know-how with new ideas in the cellar. Our vineyards are certified High Environmental Value (HVE 3). From Touraine and Touraine Chenonceaux to adventurous Vin de France cuvées, our wines share freshness, character and a taste for freedom.
