ANJOU VILLAGES THE DREAMER 2018 THE BLACK FIEF 75CL
Grape variety: 50% Cabernet Franc, 50% Cabernet Sauvignon
Le Fief Noir is a 30ha Estate in the center of Anjou Noir, near Angers, in the commune of Saint-Lambert du Lattay.
Anjou Noir is a unique wine-growing region at the end of the East Armorican massif and in the northwest of Anjou. Noir, or “Black”, because of the stone that made up its basement: Le Schiste. Formed 30 million years ago, the Anjou Noir shale has offered an exceptional diversity of soil relief through its history and its transformation through the ages. This stone is structured in a laminated model, which constitutes an ideal terroir for viticulture. Indeed, the high number of cracks in the rock allows the vine to develop its roots inside. Thanks to this, the roots will be able to explore a wide space and drain a wide variety of minerals. We will find in the wine all the originality brought by the schist.
Anjou Noir is also the meeting of one of the great grape varieties, Chenin, with schist. A unique terroir follows a unique grape variety: the chenin takes all its depth, and expresses its richness and its potential. We find here the Anjou Blanc, definition of freshness and minerality as in the Coteaux du layon.
Le Fief Noir grows its grapes organically. Chenin, Cabernet and Grolleau grow on a rich terroir of great diversity. At Fief Noir, the terroir is the winemaker's priority. Choose the right grape variety according to the composition of the soil, work the soil to promote the development of the roots of the vine over the years, eliminate weeds that compete with the vine or contribute to the warming of the soil at the end of winter .
Vinification: maceration for one month in vats with indigenous yeasts. Aged in barrels (2/3) and in jars (1/3) for 12 months.
Bourgueil the twenty places called domain gauthier 2021 75cl
Terroir and soils: Clay-siliceous. South exposure. Average age of the vines: 40 years. Planting density: 5000 vines/ha.
Philosophy : Organic farming (Ecocert certified in 2000)
Vinification and aging: In the cellar, the grapes are completely destemmed and then sorted again on the table before being vatted. The fermentations are traditional and in indigenous yeasts after a cold pre-fermentation maceration. Fermentation is gentle and lasts on average 20 to 30 days with regular pumping over and punching down. The wines are then sown in barrels or in demi-muids, the proportion of new barrels changing according to the cuvées and vintages. The Gauthier family is fortunate to have old caves carved in tuff as a breeding cellar, which serve as a cozy nest for wines. They rest there there, serenely, in a stable and caulked environment with natural temperatures ideal for conservation. This cuvée was aged in 2 and 3 wine barrels for 24 months. The wines are then bottled without filtration.
It is on a low south-facing hillside that “Le Vau Jaumier” is located on clay-limestone terroir. Vines have been there for a long time, as evidenced by the numerous remains of amphorae. They emerge as soon as the earth is disturbed, from the remains of a Gallo-Roman villa which rises within this vineyard.
Harvest and vinification: The harvest are manual then the grapes are sorted grain by grain at optimum maturity. “Le Vau Jaumier” is the last harvested terroir of the whole estate. After crushing and destemming of the harvest, alcoholic fermentation starts naturally and is carried out in thermo-regulated wooden vats. Pigeage by foot twice a day for ten days and the maceration is then prolonged for 2 to 15 days in order to complete the extraction. Entonnage, in barrels after devatting and pressing. Malolactic fermentation therefore takes place in oak barrels (during the spring following the harvest).
Breeding : Classically, the Le Vau Jaumier cuvée is aged in 1-wine barrels for 12 months. In adaptation to the vintage,

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.

Family owned since the 17th century, the estate has been handed down from father to son since 5 generations, and each has contributed its stone by adapting to its time. Today this beautiful family story continues ...
Robert SEROL had taken over the family farming of 1964 polyculture, with 2 ha of vines at a time when the vineyard was in distress. Persevering and passionate, he still chose viticulture. Accompanied by his wife Marie-Thérèse, they grew the estate and obtained the AOC Côte de Roannaise classification.
Stéphane SEROL took over the torch in 2000. Respectful of its soil and wine lover, he enlarges the estate, broadens the range of reds, plant Viognier and offers new rosés. After modernizing the farm, with Carine, his companion, they focus on the environment and the selection of terroirs.
Today the 27 hectares of vines in organic farming conversion, produce a range of reds and rosés which all reveal a different personality of the Gamay and give wines fresh and easy to drink. Since 2010, a white from Viognier comes in addition.
