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 vineyard is managed in sustainable farming. 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. We also carry out green harvesting if necessary.
Winemaking:
The juice is obtained by bleeding for Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier and by direct pneumatic pressing for Pinot Gris. This is followed by 48 hours of static cold settling, then alcoholic fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats at 18°C. The wine is then matured on its lees until bottling at the estate.
