Vintage 2020 : a great success which confirms that the terroir is essential.
TERROIR
Our Coteaux du Giennois Rosé vines are planted on limestone soils of Pougny and Saint Père, small villages located in the heart of the Centre-Loire area. This deep and typical Pinot- noir “terroir” provides wide complexity to our wine.
WINEMAKING
As soon as they arrive in the winery, the harvested grapes are delicately pressed and the juice obtained is allowed to settle for around 36 hours. The alcoholic fermentation starts naturally at a controlled of the temperature(15-18°C).
SITUATION
Situated between Gien and Cosne-sur-Loire, this vineyard of 191 hectares has a temperate climate thanks to the Loire River, with a continental influence from the east. It’s planted on hillsides of the Loire extensions of the geologic formations of Sancerrois and Pouilly. Coteaux du Giennois is a small and recent appellation, even if one can find archeological evidences of winegrowing in this region since the 2nd century. In full expansion with authentic wines that reveal the originality of their terroir.
VARIETALS

AGEING

Reviews And Awards
90 points : Coteaux du Giennois Rosé 2018
Domaine de Montbenoit
Light brilliant orange. Fragrant, mineral accented red berry and pit fruit aromas are complemented by suggestions of honeysuckle and dusty minerals. Shows good focus and energy in the mouth, offering juicy
strawberry, nectarine and flooral pastille flavors that open up slowly on the back half. The floral note repeats on a long, focused finish that leaves a subtly sweet red berry note behind.
