The Story

In 2020, Pauline Lair established 1006, an urban winery located in the heart of Angers. By 2021, she was vinifying and ageing grapes sourced from partner vineyards along the Loire Valley, from Muscadet to Côtes du Forez. Pauline's philosophy is rooted in a deep respect for the environment, using natural vinification methods with indigenous grapes and minimal additives.

“The winery focuses on producing "living wines" that are light, authentic, and reflect their terroir.”

Committed to sustainable practices, 1006 collaborates closely with winegrowers who follow organic farming standards, ensuring that the vineyard plots are carefully selected and monitored year-round. Hand-harvested grapes are transported to the urban winery, where they are vinified, aged, and sold on-site, creating a unique connection between vineyard and consumer. Under Pauline's guidance, 1006 stands out as a pioneer in urban winemaking, dedicated to sustainability and authenticity, offering wines that capture the essence of the Loire Valley.
