La Folie LuCé
About La Folie LuCé
La Folie LuCé was founded in 2009 by Loïc Terquem, in the heart of Saumur-Champigny, a renowned appellation in the Loire Valley. The winery began with 2.5 acres of Cabernet Franc and has since expanded to 15 acres, including 2 acres of Chenin Blanc. The 15 acres are split into 16 plots with varying soils. The name "La Folie LuCé" combines the name of one of Terquem's first plots, "La Folie," with the initials of his sons, Lucas and César. La Folie LuCé is dedicated to organic wine growing and winemaking, with the entire domain fully certified by 2015. The vineyards boasts an average vine age of 40 years, with the oldest Chenin Blanc vines around 60 years old.
