Producer Information
A little known-fact about the kind, generous, and gregarious Richard Desouche is that while he produces wines under his own Le P’tit Domaine label, he is also one of the talented individuals working in the vineyard for the team at the famed Clos Rougeard estate in Saumur-Champigny. Often asked for input and advice by longtime-friend Nady Foucault, Richard’s winemaking prowess is clearly recognized by the region’s best. We are proud to be representing Richard in California for the first time.As a young man, winemaker Richard first began his career with years of training and a degree in Business, not knowing that years later he would be producing some of the finest winest in all of the Loire Valley. In 2006, after having learned the ropes through various roles in the world of wine including working with a négociant in Saumur, and time spent with the famed Didier Sanzay (also his cousin) in Saumur-Champigny, Richard decided to set out on his own.
