history
In 1957, around forty winegrowers grouped together to confront the economic difficulties of the era, pooling far more than mere financial concerns. At the time, Robert, Marcel, Yvon, Geneviève and the others, hailing from the same terroir, hewn from the same rock and sharing the same time-honoured values, set up their cooperative at the top of the hill in Saint-Cyr-en-Bourg. “They chose to share their experience, their expertise and their dreams„
Vineyard
The singular expression of traditional grape varieties influenced by the terroir and climate of the Loire Valley. This cuvée is the result of a subtle marriage between an expressive, deliciously fruity grape variety, with its juicy, crunchy grapes, and an exceptional clay-limestone terroir.
Winemaking
Selection of plots with great aromatic potential. Direct pressing. Tight settling at low temperature to favour the expression of citrus aromas. Fermentation of the clear juice at 64°F during the first third of the fermentation, then adjustment to 56°F. Aged on fine lees at low temperature (10°C) with agitation until preparation for bottling.
Tasting notes
Superb straw yellow colour with silver highlights. Exuberant nose with aromas of grapefruit, blackcurrant candy and tomato leaf scent. The palate is very fresh, oscillating between sweetness, crispness and acidity.The finish is greedy with nice notes of blackcurrant and citrus peel.
Food pairing
Serve chilled between 50 and 54°F.
