Domaine des Pothiers in Villemontais is now run by Romain Paire. Now one of the leading producers in the Côte Roannaise, the domaine dates back many generations. In 1949 Benoit, Romain's grandfather inherited the domaine with two hectares of vines but focused on animal husbandry. More vines were planted and the accent moved to wine production. Today there are 18 hectares of vines, certified organic since 2008 and now biodynamic. In addition to the reds there are good whites from Chardonnay and Pinot Gris. Reference is made from 100% Gamay Saint Romain. Grapes are handpicked, fermented using natural yeasts and aged in concrete tanks. Tasted in late January 2019, was attractively soft with the accent firmly on the red cherry fruit.
