Terre de l'Elu - Esperance Pineau d'Aunis 2019

A crush for us! All the magic of Pineau d'Aunis can be found in this Espérance cuvée, full of elegance and finesse. The nose is distinguished by notes of violet and pepper, the palate is cherry, silky and spicy, with floral touches. To be enjoyed over the next 5 to 7 years.

This cuvée is produced from a plot with sandstone and puddingstone soils on which these Pineau d'Aunis vines escaped the uprooting campaigns of the 1970s and 80s. Thomas and Charlotte wanted to maintain this grape variety there by replanting it in mass selection.

A blending of old and young vines. After maceration in whole bunches, the wine is aged in amphoras for 8 months, then 2 months in vats. There is no filtration during bottling.
