List of products by brand DOMAINE OCTAVIE

Domaine Octavie cultivates 32 hectares on the plateau of Oisly, in Loir-et-Cher, between the Loire and the Cher, on sandy Sologne soils over clay and flint. Founded in 1885 and passed through five generations of the Rouballay family, the estate opened a new chapter in summer 2024 when Anaëlle and Valentin took the helm — the first owners outside the founding family. Three years into organic conversion, their 2024 vintage marks the estate's first wines from fully certified organic grapes. At Halles Quercamps, we have selected this estate for the integrity of its journey: a grounded Touraine address carried forward by a new generation that honours its roots while charting its own course. One to watch closely.

Domaine Octavie covers 32 hectares at Oisly, in the Loir-et-Cher, on the quiet plateau that divides the Loire from the Cher. Founded in 1885, the estate entered a new era in 2024 under the stewardship of Anaëlle and Valentin — the first custodians to come from outside the Rouballay family in five generations.

A century and a half of Touraine roots

Few estates in the Loire Valley can trace a continuous line back to 1885. For well over a century, Domaine Octavie was shaped and handed down by the Rouballay family, each generation tending the same plateau soils and refining the same quiet ambition: to produce wines that speak plainly of their place. When Anaëlle and Valentin took over in the summer of 2024, they inherited not only the vines but also the weight of that history — and they have embraced it fully. Their arrival marks no rupture, but rather a considered continuation: the same terroir, the same grape varieties, and a deepened commitment to sustainable viticulture.

Soils, exposure, and the plateau between two rivers

The vineyard at Domaine Octavie sits on sandy Sologne soils underlain by clay and flint — a profile that drains freely, warms gently, and imparts a characteristic mineral freshness to the wines. The plateau position, elevated between the Loire and the Cher, ensures good air circulation and a relatively even ripening across the 32 hectares. This is not a dramatic landscape, but a precise and quietly expressive one. The commune of Oisly, in the heart of the Touraine appellation, has long been regarded as one of the more reliable corners of this broad and varied wine region. The estate's plantings reflect the full breadth of Touraine's palette: Sauvignon Blanc for the whites, alongside Gamay, Pineau d'Aunis, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, and Côt (the local name for Malbec) for the reds and rosés, with sparkling wines completing the range.

Certified organic from the 2024 vintage

The estate has been working towards organic certification for three years, and the 2024 vintage represents a landmark: the first wines produced from grapes certified under Agriculture Biologique. The estate also holds Terra Vitis and HVE (Haute Valeur Environnementale) certifications, reflecting a broader commitment to responsible viticulture that predates the formal organic conversion. For Anaëlle and Valentin, this is not a marketing exercise but a natural extension of how they intend to farm — with patience, precision, and respect for the soils they have inherited.

The wine range at Domaine Octavie

The estate produces wines across all four colours, drawing on the diversity of Touraine's permitted varieties. The range is coherent and purposeful, with each wine rooted in the plateau terroir of Oisly.

  • White (Blanc) — Sauvignon Blanc-led Touraine whites with a clean, mineral character and lively citrus freshness.
  • Red (Rouge) — Blends and single-variety reds from Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Côt, and Pinot Noir; approachable, fruit-driven, and well-suited to the table.
  • Rosé — Dry and expressive, with the estate's sandy soils lending a delicate, pale profile.
  • Sparkling (Effervescent) — Traditional-method or pétillant styles that showcase the estate's breadth and the natural acidity of the plateau fruit.

Why we have selected Domaine Octavie

At Halles Quercamps, we are drawn to estates where the story and the wine are genuinely aligned — and Domaine Octavie is precisely that. The combination of a founding date of 1885, a five-generation family legacy, and a thoughtful handover to a new generation in 2024 gives this estate a depth of context that is increasingly rare. The organic certification, achieved after three years of rigorous conversion, adds a further layer of confidence: these are wines made with care and conviction, not convenience. We recommend the range particularly to lovers of Loire whites — the Sauvignon Blancs from Oisly's flint-laced soils are worth seeking out — and to those who enjoy discovering an estate at a pivotal moment in its history. The reds pair well with charcuterie and lighter meat dishes; the whites are a natural companion to goat's cheese from the Loire itself.
