Rosa , 2021

Please note that the 5 % pf Cabernet France in the blend are from a young vineyard I have rented since the harvest 2021 only and it has to undergo 3 years of conversion. 2021 being the first year, all the wine « looses » the organic/Demeter Label. From 2022 onwards these CF grapes are « in conversion to Demeter » and the whole blend, too. I’ve created the wine estate back in 2014 at Rochefort sur Loire. 100 % of my wines are elaborated with my own grapes , hand harvested with a local team I manage. and we started of organically from day 1. Then moved to Demeter. Our cellars are situated on the Loire River in an old farm building that we patiently renovate in a traditional manner. All first fermentations and malolactic are done via pied de cuve (levures&bacteries indigènes) . Our family (my husband, our 2 children 7 and 9 and me) live in the farm building, too. My vineyards are up to 80 years old and some of them, esp Le Carré du Puits have their soil worked by horse power. We also collaborate with local sheep farmers to have their sheep on our meadows & in the vineyards. I cultivate 8,5 hectares in total out of which 4,5 hectares of vines. We have the project to plant some new vineyards in the following years to move up to 6 ha. But not much further. We work with a faithful & motivated team of local seasonal workers (students, retirement, and other profiles available for seasonal work).
