The history of Clos Saint-Fiacrespan
The Montigny-Piel family has been perpetuating the Clos Saint-Fiacre winegrowing tradition 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.

Average age of vines: 35 years
Yield: 50 hl/ha
Planting density :4,000 to 6,000 plants/ha

Culture:
The vineyard is managed in sustainable farming. The vines are grassed and pruned using the Guyot simple method. Every year we carry out meticulous disbudding, removing double buds to give the main bud maximum ventilation and light.

Winemaking:
We harvest only in the morning to benefit from a low temperature in order to preserve a maximum of aromatic freshness. This is followed by pneumatic pressing and static cold settling at a temperature below 10°C for 36 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel vats at 18-20°C and the wines are matured on fine lees until bottling.

Food & wine pairing:
As an aperitif for its freshness
Fish and seafood
It will be the perfect accompaniment to your aperitifs and iodized dishes
