2021 Clos du Tue-Boeuf Pineau d'Aunis 1.5L Magnum, Vin de France Guiberteau The soil is calcareous clay100% Pineau d'Aunis. Pineau d'Aunis is an historical black grape of the Touraine in the same family with Menu Pineau and its more sophisticated cousin Pineau de la Loire, aka Chenin Blanc but is a rare bird even here in its native Loire. The Puzelats source tiny quantities of it, mainly from neighbor vigneronne Valrie Forgues, who organically tends and hand harvests her hundred plus year old vines. 2015 was their first vintage of this bottling.
