Sur La Butte, Château de Plaisance - 2022

A vibrant red, sculpted by its terroir! Made from the only red grapes grown on the Butte de Chaume, this 2022 draws its energy from schist, phtanite and spilite soils, producing a wine that is as deep as it is expressive. Packed with fruit, smooth and full-bodied, it boasts intense aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry), sweet spices and a subtle hint of smoke. The palate is full-bodied, with silky tannins and a mineral freshness that lengthens the finish. An elegant, intense red that is both accessible and perfect for the table.

Technique

Viticulture

Château de Plaisance uses Guillot-Poussard pruning to maintain the circulation of sap, control the load and avoid overcrowding. They carefully manage disbudding and leaf removal according to need. As far as the soil is concerned, they keep tillage between the rows to a minimum to encourage biodiversity, and use grass cover and natural mulching to protect the soil. Schist, phtanite and spilite soils.

Oenology

Hand-picked in crates. 100% de-stemmed. Native yeasts. Short maceration: around 3 weeks. 11 months maturing in concrete vats.

Suggestions for accompaniment

Grilled duck breast with black fruit sauce - Aubergines confit with spices and tahini - Tomme de brebis des Pyrénées (Pyrenean ewe's cheese)

Château de Plaisance

Château de Plaisance, superbly taken over by Vanessa Cherruau since the 2019 harvest, is located in Rochefort-sur-Loire. This estate had everything to seduce her: 25 hectares of vines cultivated organically since 1995 and biodynamically since 2008. Mostly planted with Chenin (80%), the vines extend over prestigious terroirs: the Butte de Chaume (Premier Cru des Coteaux du Layon), the Grand Cru Quarts-de-Chaume on the left bank of the Loire and the AOP Savennières on the right bank. Since taking over, Vanessa has stopped all ploughing, replanted hedges, fruit trees and forest trees to promote biodiversity, and manages each plot with remarkable precision. Each dry wine cuvée is vinified separately to best express its terroir. The price/pleasure ratio is splendid and the estate's potential seems simply unlimited to us. A real must-have.
