Muscadet Sèvre et Maine sur Lie 2022 Domaine la Bretonnière 75cl

Domaine de la Bretonnière is located 15 km south of Nantes, in the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation.

As far as I remember, the CORMERAIS family has always cultivated vines. This passion has been passed down from generation to generation since the 1890s.
It was in 1994 that Bertrand joined his father Joël at the estate.
He maintains and cultivates his vineyard with a view to a very qualitative and environmentally friendly approach.
Bertrand has only one idea: “the quality of wine begins in the vineyard…”

Bordering the Atlantic, the Muscadet Sèvre et Maine appellation is the appellation of the Loire located furthest to the West. It owes its name to the two rivers which cross the vineyard, the “Sèvre Nantaise” and the “Petite Maine”. It is also, with its 11 hectares, the largest single-varietal dry white wine appellation in France. Muscadet constitutes the “Lighthouse” appellation of the Nantes Wine Region.

PHILLO THE STONES OF AURELE 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.

Expression of a clay-siliceous terroir called "Perruches", Phillo is a rich, supple and fruity white wine. You will appreciate its ripe and refined notes of citrus, peach, pineapple and passion fruit.

COTEAUX DE L'AUBANCE THE THREE SCHISTES DOMAINE DE MONTGILLET 2017 50CL

Created in the year 1880, the vineyard covered a surface of one hectare and a half during the installation of Victor LEBRETON, died at the age of 97 years in January 97. He was taken over by his son Victor (66 years, now retired) who has teamed up in 1988 with his two children, Victor (37) and Vincent (35).

The harvest was carried out by 5 successive sorts, the last ending at the end of November. “Les Trois Schistes” is the fruit of several sorts harvested on the three terroirs of Domaine de Montgilet. The botrytised harvest had an alcoholic potential of 17% volume on the strain. These bunches or parts of bunches were harvested in 30 kg crates to avoid any crushing and were subjected to slow and long pressing in the vertical press. All this without re-digging, in an attempt to extract the maximum structure from the grape while preserving “finesse and elegance”. This cuvée has fermented and been aged in barrels.

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.
