Food & wine pairing

"This wine, rather smooth on the palate, has character. It pairs very well with artichokes or asparagus, vegetables that are difficult to pair with wine. It is also highly appreciated with sweet and savory dishes such as veal stew with orange, monkfish with honey and cider vinegar, or roast pork with pineapple." Evelyne de Pontbriand

Terroir

The Clos du Papillon plot is a small valley (coulée), wonderfully well-exposed to the light of the Loire. One finds schist, rhyolite, and also quartz there. The layer of topsoil is very thin (60 cm), which allows for excellent drainage of rainwater.

Harvest

Hand-harvested in crates. The plots are harvested in several passes to ensure the grapes are picked at the peak of their maturity.

Winemaking

Direct fermentation with indigenous yeasts, aged for 14 months in French oak barrels and 2 months in tanks.
