The Domaine de la Bergerie is located in the heart of Anjou Noir. The region is so named because of its dark soils, mostly composed of a schist basement. There is also sandstone, puddingstones, clay… and many other geological nuances. The 27 hectares that make up our vineyard will therefore benefit and be enriched by this diversity. They are also exposed to a certain mildness of oceanic influence. This unique terroir allows you to explore all the facets of the estate’s grape varieties, such as Chenin, Cabernet Franc, or Pineau d’Aunis. In order to preserve and enhance the soils and the diversity of the place, the estate has been certified in organic farming since 2016.Thus, on these lands, the history of the Guégniard family has been written for several generations.

WINEMAKING

Slow pressing and light settling. We give time to time for this cuvée. Fermentation (from indigenous yeasts) is slow in order to promote a harmonious aromatic expression. Ageing is carried out in vats.

TASTING NOTES

The nose, the mouth, everything is explosive for this wine!
It has a real power and aromatic complexity. Botrytis, beyond concentration, also gives it fatness. Of course, the balance of the wine is maintained, and notes of gingerbread are revealed on the nose.
To be enjoyed, with a roasted pineapple seasoned with a long Java pepper with notes of cinnamon. In other words, choose dishes with strong tastes that will stand up to the wine.

OUR ADVICE

We recommend a serving temperature between 10°C and 12°C with possible decanting. It can be tasted now, or in the next ten to fifteen years.
