Vingt Mars Les Pierres d'Aurèle 2022 Touraine Sauvignon 75cl
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.
Fresh, fruity and light white wine, Vingt Mars expresses all the freshness of Sauvignon.
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.

SAVENNIERES BELLEVUE 2019 DOMAINE PATRICK BAUDOUIN
Today, Domaine Patrick Baudouin has thirteen and a half hectares of vines in production. Ten hectares of Chenin, three and a half of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon, in the communes of Chaudefonds sur Layon, Saint Aubin de Luigné and Rochefort sur Loire (Quart de Chaume). Patrick also planted one hectare of Savennières in 2009.
The Estate undertook to convert all its vines to organic farming in 2002. Any new plot rented or purchased is immediately converted, if it is not already organic.
Since 1997 they resumed tillage, then abandoned chemical weedkillers, and from 2001 they no longer used synthetic treatment products. In the cellar, since 1994, no more wine from the Domaine has been chaptalized ("sweetened", as the ancients said), by limiting sulfur to a minimum.
In the vineyard, certified organic farming, constant search for the best human labor / biotope ratio, for a non-destructive, sustainable culture.
