ABOUT

Jean Maupertuis tends 3,8 hectares of vines in the commune of Saint-Georges-sur-Allier and La  Roche Noir. He works principally with a local strain of Gamay referred to as "Gamay D'Auvergne",  but also owns a little bit of Pinot Noir and a tiny amount of Noirfleurien, an ancient local varietal  found only in his neighboring village of Mirefleurs. Most of his vines are older, ranging from 40 to  100+ years.

Jean doesn't use chemical fertilizers, insecticides or herbicides in the vineyard, preferring to work  his soils and develop their indigenous microflora. Everything is hand harvested and manually sorted before reaching the cellar. Most of Jean's wines are vinified through carbonic maceration, which permits him to avoid adding sulfur at bottling.

TASTING NOTES

Bright and tart red berries, flowers, herbal teas, along with rocky mineral notes.
