2/ Kimmeridgian limestone (140 million years), where the land is fatter, difficult to work but still structures the wines including the cuvée Mademoiselle M. This geological area was the old bed of the Loire and there are some large stones. In his vines with tight ranks, Alexandre works by hand, plowing the vineyard with his draft horse Phenomenon. On the vinification side, nothing technological and oenological, only indigenous yeasts, no addition of enzymes. The wines are not fined. The first cuvées receive a tiny amount of sulfur at bottling. Alexandre’s wines are highly expressive and free. Living wines.
