If you ask most sommeliers and connaisseurs to draw a map of the Loire Valley, all of them will forget to point Haut-Poitou. In the South of Tours, Ampelidae was established in 1995 and produces organic wines out of their 170 hectares of vineyard. Their fine wines, (Le S, PN 1328, and Le K) come from their best plots, and are produced in limited quantities. Multiple containers are needed for the aging (oak, new and old, concrete egg, stainless steel, and terracotta jars) of all of the fine cuvees. On some great vintages, the wines can age 20 years or more.
Lots of freshness and fruitiness for this Pinot Noir, proof that France has unknown great terroirs.
