DOMAINE PAON PERCHÉ
- A Social Integration Project -
Our story
We met at the end of 2022. German, an oenologist originally from Argentina, trained in Bordeaux, and Valentin, a Frenchman, studied biochemistry, oenology, and business. Together, we combine our expertise and passion to create emotional wines around a social project. Driven by ecological and social convictions, we collaborate with the SOS Group to integrate people experiencing social difficulties!
Our Estate
Paon Perché is located in the Loire Valley, in the heart of Poitou. Our 20-hectare vineyard is planted on clay-limestone and flint soils and features various grape varieties, including Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Noir. True to our values, we cultivate our vines using organic and biodynamic methods, respecting life and the natural cycles.
Our Wines
Our 'Vertical', 'Sauvage', and 'Horizontal' vintages delight wine merchants, restaurateurs, and private individuals. In the vineyard and in the winery, every step is of great importance. We cherish our grapes with cold maceration and gentle extraction. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel or concrete vats. Some wines are aged in barrels to offer authentic creations with as few additives as possible.
PROJECT OBJECTIVE
- Acquisition of winemaking equipment -
We created the Vignes d’Avenir association to provide the first integration structure dedicated to the vineyard, wine, and wine tourism industries. We offer qualifying training to people who are far from the job market. After the launch of our first bottles in the summer of 2024, our wines quickly sparked curiosity and enthusiasm among our customers. Our project combines quality, solidarity, and respect for the environment, while training professionals passionate about careers of the future.
For the first vintage, we were able to rely on our loved ones to provide us with equipment. Today, we need your help to enable us to acquire more equipment for our upcoming winemaking projects.
PROJECT COST
Your financial support will contribute to the total budget for the renovation of the winery and its equipment for grape processing and wine aging. This amount will help finance:
The €5,000 level will allow us to insulate part of the winery and purchase a winemaking pump that will facilitate wine transfer while preserving its quality.
The €15,000 level will be used to acquire several barrels and stainless steel wine tanks to select smaller batches for our future vintages.
With €30,000, we will improve the cooling system and air conditioning to better control fermentation and aging temperatures and renovate our winery floor.
The €50,000 level will contribute to investing in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, which precisely control fermentation temperatures, thus optimizing the aromas and quality of the wine.

PAON PERCHÉ WINES
FIÉ COMME UN PAON
100% Sauvignon Gris
Vin de France White.
Organic.
Nocturnal harvest.
Fié comme un Paon, our signature cuvée, is made exclusively from our Sauvignon Gris collection. Savory, lively, with hints of yellow fruit, this wine is a surprise, far from the usual expression of this grape variety. This cuvée pairs perfectly with seafood dishes.
HORIZONTAL
100% Pinot Noir
Vin de France Red.
Organic.
Nocturnal harvest.
Signature cuvée from the estate, complementary to 'Vertical', 'Horizontal' is the ideal wine for discovering Pinot Noir from limestone soils. Both precise and elegant, this wine starts off with finesse and progresses to spicy, light, peppery notes on the finish, provided by the aging, partly in barrels.
VERTICAL
Sauvignon Gris 15%
Sauvignon Blanc 85%
Vin de France White.
Organic.
A signature cuvée from the estate, inspired by the verticality of wine, 'Vertical' is the ideal wine to introduce your palate to the Paon Perché wines. At once straightforward, precise, and complex, 'Vertical' showcases the freshness and varietal characteristics of Sauvignon Blanc, without exuberating thiols. The blend with Sauvignon Gris brings breadth and length to the wine.
SAUVAGE
100% Sauvignon Blanc
Vin de France White.
Organic.
A surprisingly expressive Sauvignon, 'Sauvage' is an ode to freedom and elegance. Produced from the oldest Sauvignon Blanc vineyards on the estate, this wine is a surprise, far from the usual expression of this grape variety. Savory, lively with volume, the wine evolves with each sip thanks to vinification and aging in 300 and 400L oak barrels of 1 and 2 wines. Sauvage is a cuvée designed to pair with high-flying dishes.
