Masterclass La Grange Tiphaine
Damien and Coralie Delecheneau’s 15-hectare estate is spread across Amboise and Monlouis-sur-Loire. Damien, the fourth generation of this family business, returned in 2002 after studying and completing internships in California and South Africa to take over the business. He decided to transition to organic and biodynamic viticulture, respecting local traditions.
This transition required patience and perseverance, which is why the estate has been biodynamically certified since 2014. La Grange Tiphaine produces elegant wines from Chenin Blanc, Côt, Cabernet Franc, Gamay, and Grolleau, ranging from rosé pet-nat to complex Chenin Blancs. The Chenin from a single plot in Monlouis is harvested four times for different styles, from pétillant to moelleux, resulting in wines that purely reflect the terroir.
Masterclass Portuguese Wines
Portuguese wine still represents a relatively small segment in terms of volume in the Netherlands, but interest is clearly growing, particularly within the quality and organic ranges.
To highlight this dynamic devellopment, three leading importers specializing in Portuguese wines are jointly organizing an exclusive Masterclass.
Portugal Wijn Import, Halfes, and André Kerstens – Partners in Wijn will guide you through the diversity, quality, and distinctive character of Portuguese wines.
