Mickaël Salmon
After finishing my studies in 2012, I worked as a winemaker in a domain for two years before returning to the family business in 2014, where I began to integrate myself into all levels of the operation.
​
In February 2015, I left for New Zealand to work in a winery in the Marlborough Valley for several months.
​
In July 2019, I joined forces with my father on our family estate Salmon. At the same time I decided to create my domain in organic conversion in order to bring a different approach to the vine and the cellar. I have selected several fairly specific terroirs to produce only single-plot cuvées in white and red wines.
​
Having visited many vineyards in France and around the world, and above all of having tasted a lot of different wines, allows me to have a precise vision of the types of cuvées that I wanted to make.
​
Today the Domaine Lucas-Salmon extends over 10 hectares in Melon Blanc, Folle Blanche, Gamay and Pinot Noir.
​
The name Lucas, associated with the name Salmon, pays homage to my great-grandparents who were also winemakers in the Landes Devin.
An exceptional terroir as playground
The vinyard Lucas-Salmon extends over the township of Château-Thébaud and Vertou, in which the Sèvre and the Maine pass, two rivers which meander between the hillsides of the Nantes vineyards.
​
The proximity of the vineyard to the sea offers saline and oceanic wines recognized for their freshness and minerality.
​
We find in our plots granites, gneiss and quartz.
