PYROS THE STONES OF AURELE 2020 TOURAINE GAMAY 75CL

Les Pierres d'Aurèle is a family wine estate of 20 ha located in the heart of the Loire Valley, a French wine region in the midst of a renaissance.
For ten years, the dynamism of young winegrowers has allowed the Region to rise to the rank of the best French vineyards.
It is in this spirit that we took over the vineyard in 2010 and that we work daily to produce high quality local wines.

The vines are grown on the clay-siliceous soils of Chenonceaux with the greatest respect for our environment. The vines, aged 15 to 105 years, have deliberately limited yields to obtain grapes of optimum quality.

Pierre-André Frot, agricultural engineer and oenologist, is a lover of the vine and its environment. Passionate about his profession, Pierre strives to transmit this passion through the wines he produces.

Passed by great houses of Bordeaux and Burgundy during his studies, he transcribes the rigor and finesse taught in his wines. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, Pierre very quickly acquired the Les Pierres d'Aurèle estate after working as a banker for the first 3 years following his studies.

Today, alongside his wife, he leads the life he has always dreamed of between passing on his love of wine and sharing the good things in life.

Produced on hot and stony clay to flint soils, called Perruches, Pyros is a gourmet and fruity red wine. Very expressive on the nose, it reveals concentrated aromas of slightly jammy black fruits, as well as pretty peppery notes.

Saumur Champigny Terres Rouges Arnaud Lambert 2022 half bottle

Winegrower Saint Just on Dive

Since 1996, the Lambert family has cultivated vines with passion on the Domaine de Saint-Just, and more recently on the vineyard of Château de Brézé, a unique micro-terroir... Every day, they prioritize the life of the
soils while preserving the life of useful flora and fauna. It is in this perspective of organic cultivation that the vine gives the best possible aromas to our wines.
The very rich history of Château de Brézé has always been intertwined with that of wine. From the XNUMXth century, the white wines of Brézé were sung by the Good King René, and appeared on the prestigious tables of the nobility and great people of this world, such as Louis XIV, the Sun King. Chenin Blanc, a typical grape variety for Pays-de-la-Loire wines, is found in the Château's plots, a unique expression thanks to the dense clay-limestone soils of Brézé. Today, it is the specificity of these very particular soils that Arnaud Lambert works and restores, with the aim of being able to restore this exceptional vineyard to its former glory!

Saint Martin Tower. It was in 1988 that Betrand MONCHIN embarked on the wine adventure in Menetou Salon, where his grandfather was already producing wine before the war. The plots, well established on the heights of the village of Morogues, consist of 10 hectares of Sauvignon and 7 hectares of Pinot. For almost 30 years now, Bertrand MINCHIN has been making the most of this magnificent Kimmeridgian terroir. Everything is done in the vines to produce the finest grapes: plowing, composts, control of vegetative balance, control of yields and respect for the 'environment (area labeled High Environmental Value).

A large part of the vineyard is harvested manually, to vinify each plot separately. It is in a perfectly equipped cellar (sorting table, carpets, thermoregulated vats, wooden vats, pneumatic presses, etc.) that he vinifies his grapes in a little interventionist way. The red ones cook a long time, are slightly drawn and dewatered manually. Whites undergo long pressing and ferment at controlled temperature.
