| “Thierry Michon is growing some fascinating wines that are bringing recognition to the little known Vendee and its sub-appellation Brem.”—Wine Advocate |
| | Thierry Michon is the force behind one of the Loire’s best-kept secrets, Domaine Saint Nicolas. He works on schist and silex, a stone’s throw away from the Atlantic. Domaine Saint Nicolas sits at the extreme southern end of the Loire delta, just south of Muscadet. One of the few in the area to age in barrel, Thierry’s years of hard work are starting to pay off. For years he worked all week in the vines and then took off on Friday afternoons for the 5 hour drive to Paris. From the back of his truck he sold his wines to restaurants and small shops. When the wines starting showing up on the lists of Guy Savoy, Taillevent, and Arpège, people starting paying attention. Now he is a leader of the biodynamics movement in France, the defender of his little appellation, and one of France’s most respected winemakers. These are soulful wines of amazing purity. |
