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

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!

Christine and Franck are listening to the vine, of his cycle. Inscribed in the heart of an environmentally friendly approach, work in the vineyard is very important in order to follow the natural balance of the plant.

The estate is managed in a sustainable way. All the soils are worked, no herbicides are used. Various methods are used to regulate production in order to optimize the quality of the grapes, such as grassing the vines, disbudding or green harvesting.

Terroir 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.

Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil La Croisée Domaine de la Cotelleraie 2022 75 cl

The Vallée family has been established for several centuries on the best wine-growing sites of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil. Currently, four generations live in the village: the grandmother Denise Vallée Moreau, the father Claude Vallée and Gérald, the grandson and son. Bertille, Gérald's daughter, was born on the first day of that famous heatwave in August 2003. Gérald took over in 1997. The estate extends over 26 hectares shared between the gravels of the terrace, the siliceous limestones of the low hillside and the gravelly hills of the Loire Valley. This is where the vines of prestigious places flourish like: Les Mauguerets, La Cotelleraie, La Mineraie, Le Vau Jaumier, Les Perruches...
