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.

The raisin is defined by plot at the best possible maturity, avoiding over-maturation which is detrimental to the finesse of the aromas.
It is loaded into the vats respecting the topography of these plots in order to allow good traceability, a guarantee of long-lasting quality.
The fermentation tanks are made of stainless steel, small capacity and thermo-regulated. The alcoholic fermentation is done in open vats, under temperature control, with punching down morning and evening. The pigeage is a manual mixing of the marc and the must which allows the smoothest extraction of the tannins, the fruit and the aromas of the grape.
After the alcoholic fermentation the wine is withdrawn and the marc pressed. The Château du Petit Puch uses a small vertical cage press which limits astringency and the herbaceous taste gives high quality press wines. They will then serve to assemble the final vintages.
During the alcoholic fermentation which is the transformation of natural sugar into alcohol, it was necessary to prevent the temperature from rising too high so as not to destroy the natural fermentation yeasts.
Conversely, the second fermentation, the malolactic which is a natural biological deacidification of wine must be conducted under a minimum temperature. It is conducted in vats and gives the new wine its mellow and fleshy.
After one or more rackings to remove the lees, the wine is barreled, ie put into barrels during the winter. It stays twelve months in oak barrels renewed by thirds to be finally blended and prepared for bottling.
The cellars of the Petit Puch castle, housed in buildings from the 14th and 15th century incorporate the most advanced oenological techniques and are subject to a drastic hygiene control.
