The Details

70% Pineau d’Aunis/20% Cabernet Franc/10% Gamay. 2020 was the first vintage of "Icône". Averaging 30 years old, the vines are planted on clay-limestone soils in the heart of the Cher valley of the Touraine region in the Loire. They are certified-organic and tended and harvested by hand. The bunches are destemmed and co-fermented spontaneously with native yeasts and without sulfur in stainless steel and fiberglass tanks. The wine is aged in tank and bottled without filtration and with minimal sulfur.
