QUARTS DE CHAUME ZERSILLES 2015 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.

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.

Menetou Salon Pommerais Blanc la Tour Saint Martin Domaines Minchin 2022 75cl

Saint Martin tower. It was in 1988 that Bertrand MONCHIN embarked on the wine adventure at Menetou Salon, where his grandfather was already producing wine before the war. The plots, well distributed over the heights of the village of Morogues, are made up 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 implemented in the vines to produce the most beautiful grapes: ploughing, composting, control of the vegetative balance, control of yields and respect for the environment. environment (area labeled High Environmental Value).

A large part of the vineyard is harvested manually, in order to vinify each plot separately. It is in a perfectly equipped cellar (sorting table, carpet, temperature-controlled vats, wooden vats, pneumatic presses, etc.) that he vinifies his grapes in a minimally interventionist manner. The reds ferment for a long time, are lightly punched down and devatted manually. The whites undergo long pressures, and ferment at a controlled temperature.

Varietal: Sauvignon

Mechanical harvesting. Fermentation in thermo‐regulated stainless steel vats, pressing. Aging in thermo‐regulated stainless steel vats, fining, light filtration, aging on lees

Sancerre Mont Damné Domaine Didier Dagueneau 2019 75 cl

Viticulturalist in SAINT ANDELAIN

Details Domain

Louis-Benjamin Dagueneau, who worked for several years alongside his father and sister Charlotte (commercial side) have been in charge of the estate since Didier's disappearance in September 2008. Louis Benjamin perpetuates the upscale artisan spirit of this small property where the management of the vineyard is done with mastery and serenity. Here, the harvest in boxes is done in a very short time, at optimal maturity, with great staff reinforcement. The use of selected yeasts, tight settling and long aging on lees without racking remains the basis of an absolute quest for the crystalline expression of Sauvignon - enhanced by a millimeter aging in wood, in barrels of volume greater than barrels, "cigars" (320 liters) or "tons" (600 liters).

Seven vintages make up the range: Blanc Fumé de Pouilly (ex-Chailloux), a blend of four plots; Thoroughbred, assembly of the Madness sector; Buisson Renard, a more compact plot of Saint-Andelain; Flint, crystal purity of flint clays; Without forgetting the extremely rare Clos du Calvaire: 20 ares planted at 14000 feet / ha, uprooted in 2009 (2008 being the last vintage) and replanted in another direction at 10 feet / ha (next vintage around 000), and the Asteroid - from a vineyard free from the harvest, still very ripe. Finally, last terroirs (while waiting for the red that Benjamin wants to vinify), the Sancerre de Chavignol, from the heart of the Grand Cru of the Côte des Monts Damnés.

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.
