Domaine Tinel-Blondelet

Annick Tinel-Blondelet: A Woman, A Estate, A Passion

Since 1983, Annick Tinel-Blondelet has passionately managed the family estate. After earning a BTS in viticulture and oenology, she dedicated herself to producing wines that reflect her values: authentic, honest, and vibrant. The 15-hectare estate spans three renowned appellations (Pouilly Fumé, Sancerre, and Pouilly sur Loire), where Annick cultivates three grape varieties (Sauvignon, Chasselas, and Pinot Noir) across varied terroirs, ranging from Kimmeridgian marls to flint soils.

Committed to an environmentally respectful viticulture, she has implemented a reasoned approach for years to preserve biodiversity and ensure the quality of her wines. Supported by a skilled team, she relies on a modern cellar to fulfill her ambition of crafting wines that are true to their terroir.

Heritage and Tradition: A Family Story

The daughter of winemakers, Annick represents the 12th generation of a winemaking lineage that spans over 400 years. The family history began with Guillaume Blondelet in the 16th century, and on her mother's side with Louis Figeat, a winemaker since 1650. In 1983, Annick took over the estate from her parents, Camille and Fernand.

In the 1950s, Fernand was a pioneer by focusing the family on viticulture and opening the first tasting cellar in Pouilly. His acquisitions of plots in Thauvenay, near Sancerre, opened new prospects for the estate. Annick continues to honor this heritage while bringing her own dynamic energy to the domain.
