Winemaker(s)

Eric de la Vigerie and Sylvie, Olga Raffault’s granddaughter

Terroir

The clay-siliceous plateaus face due south in the commune of Beaumont-en-Véron, northwest of Chinon.

Harvest

Hand-harvested, then destemmed in the winery and gravity-fed into tanks as whole berries by a conveyor belt that is, above all, gentle on the fruit.

Winemaking

Fermentation, combined with pigeage (punching down of the cap), is maintained at 30°C, and maceration is extended to 25-30 days, promoting strong extraction of the structural components.
Les Peuilles is aged, either partially or entirely depending on the vintage, in 50hl foudres for 6 to 10 months, a period necessary to achieve a fine and delicate structure.
