Our team

Les Canons is a group of men and women passionate about our terroirs, vines and climate and everything that makes up Anjou and the Loire in particular.

Matthieu Alix

Born into a farming family, it was only natural for Matthieu to retrain in the milieu in which he grew up. Agile and always ready to listen, Matthieu knows how to be Les Canons’ figurehead and an outstanding skipper. A truly versatile multi-tasker, nowadays he navigates between the apple trees and the business to which he is devoted. Don’t be surprised to find Matthieu at a business meeting with his hands still showing signs of the day’s work. He will be delighted to extend them to you.

Florent Prouteau

Florent orchestrates the running of the estate. From a young age, he grew up amidst vines and rugby matches. Wine was an obvious move for Florent. A lover of vines and Anjou, the Loire and his native region He puts his heart and soul into each bottle. He is also the expert behind Les Canons’ polished communication. He is always on the lookout to offer you quality content. As you can see, without Florent there would be no wine. And no wine would make it a lonely time.

Passionate winegrowers aware of the demands of our profession, we have the good fortune to be surrounded by a team that gives their very best every day to produce the finest grapes. Passion, patience, precision, rigor, sharing and communication are the attributes that best describe the team around us.

GUY-NOËL

Guy-Noël is Les Canons’ joker. He joined the team in 2019 and after 20 years spent working the vines, there is not much that he does not know. He keeps a careful eye on the vineyard and his candor is only matched by his cheerful everyday attitude.

Philippe

Philippe is the company’s farmer. He joined our team in 2019 and divides his time between the estate’s vines and his fields, which he tends with the same careful attention. A fine mechanic and experienced tractor driver, he is an invaluable asset to Les Canons, a real Jack of all trades.

Céline

Having worked on the estate for a dozen years, she is a real whirlwind, overflowing with energy. Her efficiency and tenacity have earned her a solid reputation. “Whoever follows her won’t stop”.

MAËL

Alongside us since 2019, he is the youngest member of the team. Always early, motivated, with a listening ear and a can-do attitude, he is keen to learn and enthusiastically and cheerfully gets involved in all the work in the vineyard. He learns daily and we are proud to have such a motivated young person on the team.

Héloïse

Also part of the adventure since 2019, Héloïse impresses us with her assurance and self-confidence in the face of each new challenge. Hardworking and thorough, she runs a tight ship when it comes to the tractors and teams and has quickly made herself an indispensable team member.

HUGUES

Hugues joined Les Canons in 2021 and is responsible for the day-to-day management of our listing and distribution among professionals in France and abroad, with whom he shares his passion and our estate’s values.

Affable, smiling and at ease whatever the situation, we are delighted that he is part of our team.

"Together, we aspire to create wines that arouse emotion, that are generous, straightforward, honest and true, in line with our convictions."
