Description of wine 🍷
Pierre Ménard est un tout jeune vigneron angevin. Il travaille avec ses parents qui amènent leur production à la cave coopérative. Depuis 2013, il a commencé à produire son propre vin. En effet, cela lui faisait trop mal au cœur d'envoyer des raisins issus de magnifiques terroirs à la cave coop. De même, il ne veut plus travailler avec des pesticides chimiques. Aussi, dès son premier millésime, il s'est engagé vers une culture respectueuse de l'environnement avec l'usage des plantes, en prenant son temps pour trouver l'équilibre des vignes. La production est toute petite pour le moment, ce qui lui permet de faire un travail méticuleux toute l'année à la vigne.
C'est une parcelle qui est juste à côté du Clos des Mailles. Si le Clos des Mailles est sur la crête du coteau et le début de la pente nord qui regarde Faye d'Anjou, la Varenne de Chanzé est de l'autre côté du chemin et plonge sur la pente sud plus escarpée qui regarde le Layon. Le sol change avec toujours une base de schiste, pas ou peu de phtanites ici mais une petite présence de spilite altérée, roche volcanique qui à priori semble donner une jolie tension et de la vigueur au vin. Les vignes sont encore jeunes mais le potentiel est déjà prometteur.
Vendange manuelle, pressurage doux pneumatique, fermentation et élevage en barriques de 1 à 10 vins, foudre de 15hL et jarre de grès.

What is an author wine?
This can be so diverse depending on the personality of their sire, that it is easier to define what it is not. An author wine is anything but a standard, stereotypical wine, made to please as many people as possible. It is therefore rarely produced in millions of copies, copying itself from vintage in vintage.
An author wine is therefore a wine that does not look like that of the neighbor. Which from year to year will evolve according to the vagaries of the weather and the mood of the author - the two that can be linked. Because the author does not rely on market studies to carry out his boat. He makes his wine as he feels, as he likes, as he can, sometimes ... and too bad if he does not please everyone.
This is why author wines are sometimes classified as "table wine" or "France wine". Because the winemaker did not plan the authorized grape variety*, makes the assembly or vinification recommended in the name **. He is often a bit rebellious, our author. But that is why we like it! ... That said, author's wines are not systematically marginal: they are present in most of the appellations, and can be part of the elite of these this***. Because they are not content to have personality: they are good, in addition! With in general aDegree of TorchabilityVery high: we never tire of it at the end of the first sip.
As author's wines are not chaptalized, levied, hacked ... They can have very different profiles depending on the vintage. It is up to us (resellers and consumers) to accept them as they are, and to remain faithful to the producers, because they need us to continue their activity.
