Variety
Pineau d'Aunis
Les Peronnes is a clay-limestone slope that faces the rising sun in Thésée, located on the right bank of the Cher River in the Loire Valley. In 2010, Domaine Tardieux-Gal planted a vineyard of Pineau d’Aunis here. Today, the grapes are perfectly adapted for the creation of a direct-press rosé. The light color and elegant aromas are typical of Pineau d’Aunis. Domaine Tardieux-Gal's vines have been certified organic since 1998. Grapes are hand harvested and vinified with native yeasts, with no added sugar and only a small amount of sulfites used.
