The vineyard continue to be managed by the family, Pierre, Chantal and their children François, Vincent and Marie. The dynamic combination of their complementary personalities, experience and skills, guarantees the continuation of its viticultural excellence. François, the eldest son, is in charge of sales. Vincent, a qualified agronomic engineer and oenologist, manages the vineyard and the wines, with the help of his father Pierre. And Marie manages the everyday running of the winery and visits, alongside her mother Chantal.

One of the more unique backgrounds, the Lieubeau family came to be by fate. In 1816, Joseph Grégoire Lieubeau, had been left on the steps of the local hospital in Nantes. Not knowing his real name, those who found him blessed him with a fortunate name, meaning “beautiful place”. He was raised by a local family who happened to be grape growers, and years later he eventually established his own domaine. Today, it is run by his descendants Pierre, Chantal and their children François, Vincent and Marie. They produce some of the most polished wines in the western Loire, with a focus on Muscadet, their region’s flagship wine. The Famille Lieubeau emblem is a child in a hat. It symbolizes the family's history and our deeply rooted connection with Nantes , as well as our respect for nature and diversity , and our constant desire to learn, create and move forward.
