Sourced from 45-year-old certified organic vines in a 6-hectare vineyard, La Grande Vignolle. The vineyard is situated on a chalk cliff with calcareous clay soils, set back from the Loire River on a high plateau at the northern edge of the Saumur-Champigny appellation. The grapes are destemmed, fermented with native yeasts in stainless steel, and undergo about 20 days of maceration. The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for approximately ten months before bottling. Years ago, importers Joe Dressner and Denyse Louis requested that Grande Vignolle remain unfiltered for the American market—a tradition that continues today, reflected in both the bottle and the label.
