Winemaking
The vinification is traditional : fermentation and maceration continue up to 2 or 3 weeks depending on the vintage, and they use indigenous yeasts for better fermentation and to retain the character of their different soils. Vinification is done in stainless steel vats, permanently controlling temperatures. Following these rules is essential for the quality of the wine : preserving the aromas that are the expression of the grape variety. The harvest is then put into 600 liters barrels so that it can breathe naturally. Following its characteristics, it will stay there for aging. The substantial stocking capacity permits them to choose the moment most favorable, essential for its development, for then doing the very delicate operation of bottling the wines.

BACKGROUND
The family settled in the Bourgueil area in 1839 and now exploits 40 hectares of vineyard on the BOURGUEIL, SAINT NICOLAS DE BOURGUEIL AND CHINON appellations. Respecting the soils, the cuvées represent their single grape variety, the “cabernet franc” and is the character of the vintage. Situated on the territory of the town Benais, this vineyard, of a hectare and a half, produces powerful and rich wines. This is related to the type of soil and age of the vines : the rich clay limestone soil determines their tannic character and the particular flavour of « tuffeau »(limestone) wine. The vineyard is 60 years old. Vigorous, it produces grapes with smaller grains giving very concentrated wines.
