The Domain: Domaine Lavigne is in the commune of Varrains, just outside of the town of Saumur. There is a palm tree right inside the walls of the Domaine, which tells you the climate is temperate. Domaine Lavigne is a family effort going on its 3rd generation. What started as a mixed agricultural farm with some livestock and asparagus, gave way to vines. Under the direction of Gilbert Lavigne, the vines prevailed. Pascale Levine inherited the Domaine from her father, Gilbert.
