presentation
vintage
2019 shows every sign of being a sun-driven vintage. Having braved the unusual weather conditions, 2019 is a unique, early vintage – a vintage shaped by extraordinary extremes of weather, ranging from record levels of spring rainfall to summer heatwaves. September’s fine weather helped to maintain the quality potential of the harvest.
In conclusion, the 2019 vintage is set to be all about elegance.
terroir
Our Sancerre red vines are planted on the 100% Clay Limestone soils of Sainte Gemme, a small village located in the heart of the Centre-Loire area.
This deep and typical Pinot-noir “terroir” provides wide complexity to our wine.
winemaking
Alcoholic fermentation is performed in vats for 10 to 14 days at temperatures between 26 and 32°C. Throughout this process, the must is pumped over twice daily so as to maximize the extraction of colour and tannins.
situation
Along the Loire River in east of Bourges, the vineyards extend over 2,926 ha in 14 communes.
varietals
Pinot noir : 100%
Ageing
Malolactic fermentation is performed in stainless steel tank. To finish the wine is racked, aged for 10 to 12 months and the bottled.
