The History of Clos Saint-Fiacre
The Montigny-Piel family has been perpetuating the winemaking tradition of Clos Saint-Fiacre in Mareau-aux-Prés for several generations. The family has been cultivating vines there since 1635 on the best terroirs of the Orléans and Orléans-Cléry appellations of controlled origin (AOC).
Bénédicte and Hubert Piel took over the family estate in 2001, following in the footsteps of Daniel Montigny who worked for 25 years at the head of the wine syndicate to obtain the Orléans and Orléans-Cléry appellations.
The family now operates 15 hectares of vines.

Culture:

The vineyards are cultivated using sustainable methods. The vines are grassed and pruned short. Every year, we carry out meticulous disbudding, removing double buds to give the main bud maximum ventilation and light so that the grapes reach optimum ripeness. We also carry out green harvesting if necessary.

Winemaking

The grapes are destemmed before undergoing 48 hours of cold maceration. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with daily pump-overs. This is followed by alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with daily pump-overs.
