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,
Terroir and soils: Calcareous tuffeau soil 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.
