Tasting notes
Fruity and mellow taste. A wine with aromas of poir, citrus and red fruits. It is round and has almost no sourness, but it is accented with bitterness and firm tannins. When exposed to the air, it becomes more complex and the nuances of new leather and graphite are subtly felt.

Winery Description
The vineyard covers 13 hectares wide including 9ha in Montlouis sur Loire AOC and 4ha in Touraine AOC, in the districts of Saint-Martin le Beau, on the north side of the valley of the Cher, a small village near Montlouis sur Loire.
All plots are very fragmented and heterogeneous, both in terms of the age of the vines as the soils and grape varieties
Most parcels were planted before 1940 and has already celebrated 120 years old! The benefit of old vines is that they regulate themselves: quality and quantity of wines is more regular, including "small vintages" (when a vintage is complicated).
