Haut-Poitou is a forgotten land on the wine map of France, ravaged by phylloxera. Ampelidae, founded in 1995, cultivates nearly 170 hectares organically, producing high-end cuvées (Le S, PN 1328, Le K) from its best plots. With very little new oak and a variety of containers (concrete eggs, amphorae, stainless steel, etc.), these cuvées showcase the "Pauillac of the Vienne" with an irresistible quality/price ratio. All of the estate's white wines are sealed with screw caps to preserve the freshness sought by the team. In some great vintages, the wines can age for 20 years or more.
The Grands Vins of Ampelidae are a reflection of their magnificent terroir and come from the estate's best parcels. Their meticulous aging process enhances the complexity of their bouquet and reveals immense potential for aging.
Color: A beautiful deep, dark red.
Aromas: After aeration, this cuvée develops subtle notes of tobacco, cocoa, and dark fruits.
Taste: The Cabernet reveals itself as powerful yet elegant. The finesse of the tannins provides a beautiful structure and a promising length.
