THE STONES OF AURELE PINEAU D'AUNIS 2019
Wine from France - PINEAU D'AUNIS
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.
Les Pierres d'Aurèle Aunis is a fine expression of this noble Loire Valley grape variety. Exclusively from century-old vines, this wine expresses all the quintessence of the terroir on which it is grown. Its surprising notes of liquorice, pepper and fresh mint
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.
Varietal: Pinot NoirTerroir and soils: Limestone tuffeau ground covered with a thin layer of clay.
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.

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.
