Earthy

Juicy

Spicy

Vibrant

Layered field blend with red and darker fruit, earthy grip, and saline minerality.

Nose: Bright cherry and bramble to deeper plum and forest berry, subtle herb and spice nuances.
Palate: Lively acid backbone gives lift and definition. Fine-grained tannins provide structure and slightly earthy grip echoing flinty clay soils. A saline, almost smoky mineral thread weaves through the mid-palate.
Finish: Persistent and vibrant, rooted in unique Loire terroir and richly expressive without overt weight.
Serve: Lightly chilled, 14–16°C.

A complex field blend honoring the vineyard's diversity through spontaneous co-fermentation.

A field blend of indigenous varieties including Pinot Noir, Gamay, Côt (Malbec), Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and others from Soings-en-Sologne in the Loire Valley, grown on flinty clay and calcareous soils.

Vines: Old vines representing a rich mosaic of indigenous varieties co-fermented together.
Soils: Flinty clay and calcareous, contributing mineral thread and structural complexity.
Farming: Organic viticulture with minimal intervention.
Cellar: Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, followed by extended ageing in used barriques.
Additions: No added sulphites, no fining, no filtration.
