Discover : Maxime Pinard vineyard
A domain
unique & typical
"It is a domain where living rhymes with your desires for dreams and discoveries. Soothing for the soul, comforting for the body, it evokes plenitude and brightens your stay." This is how the Maxime Pinard Group describes its estate. A haven of peace where time slows down to the rhythm of the ocean's languor to better reveal its secrets.
The secret of an estate kept from father to son by 4 generations of winemakers. And it is in the heart of this postcard of more than 100 hectares of grape varieties and dʼappellations dʼorigine contrôlée that the famous Maxime Pinard vintages are produced.
Since 1889, the whole family has been using its know-how in the vineyard. The island of Oleron is endowed with a charm and a voluptuousness which are found in the sensitive and delicate aromas of its cognac and its incomparable range of regional products.
Enjoy the unforgettable experience of a stay at the end of the world, the discovery of an estate where the sea gives the land the colour of its vine. Thanks to the age-old experience of the Maxime Pinard Group in winegrowing, you will discover not only a know-how but also an "art of living".
