The fermentations are traditional and in indigenous yeasts after a cold pre-fermentation maceration. The vatting is gentle and lasts an average of 8 days with pumping over and a temperature not exceeding 25% to preserve as much fruit as possible. The wines are then run off and placed in vats, maturing on fine lees and bottled the following spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Pairing:\u003c\/strong\u003e This wine will accompany your summer meals on sunny days or simply wine for wine.

His domain comprises 18 hectares located in the village of Benais, a 200-hectare area just east of Bourgeuil. Pierre earned organic certification in 2000 and has been a quiet leader in natural farming ever since.
