Winery | The Pinot Noir grapes for this Sancerre Rouge cuvee come from a selected parcel in the lieu-dit of ‘Sur Le Clou’, which is located in Bue, in the Sancerre appellation, to the west of the town of Sancerre. The distinctive feature of this terroir is that the soil is made up of ferruginous clay, which is very rich in iron. The black stone depicted on the label references the rich source of iron found in this type of soil, an essential component for photosynthesis; these black stones capture the heat during the day and radiate it at night, encouraging the ripening of the grapes. The vines are grown using climate-smart integrated methods, including biodiversity conservation, plant protection strategies, managed fertilizer use, and water resource management. Careful canopy management occurs, including leaf thinning, which encourages the grapes to reach optimal ripeness and concentrates the flavours in the berries. |
