Terroir:The 60-year-old vines for Les Mondes 2020 are rooted in sandy, clay-gravel soils layered over schist. This unique terroir, combined with deep plowing practices, promotes resilient vines that thrive even in extreme water conditions. The Loire Valley's temperate climate ensures a balanced ripening process for these rare and local grape varieties.
Winemaking: The grapes are manually harvested in 12 kg perforated crates, ensuring careful handling. A negative sorting process removes less-than-perfect bunches days before harvest, focusing the vine’s energy on the healthiest clusters.
Maceration: A short 36-hour whole-berry maceration followed by saignée.
Fermentation: Occurs in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation adds roundness.
Aging: 6 months in amphora, enhancing purity and minerality.
Tasting Notes / Food Pairing & Cellaring
On the Nose: Les Mondes 2020 unveils a captivating bouquet that effortlessly combines the minerality of the Loire Valley with bright, aromatic notes of yellow-fleshed fruits such as apricot and peach. These delicate fruit aromas are intertwined with subtle hints of floral and herbal undertones, creating a harmonious and inviting profile.
On the Palate: The wine enters with a soft, round mouthfeel, giving way to a supple texture that coats the mouth with gentle richness. As the wine develops on the mid-palate, its complexity deepens, revealing dense layers of flavour that are both vibrant and expressive. The finish is fresh, elongated, and elegant, leaving a lasting impression of balance and finesse.
Pairing & Cellaring: Les Mondes 2020 is a versatile wine. Its vibrant character makes it an excellent match for seafood, or classic fish soups. For vegetarian fare, dishes like ratatouille or couscous with roasted vegetables are ideal, as the wine complements their rich, earthy flavours. For a lighter touch, grilled fish or shellfish with herbal accompaniments will highlight the wine’s freshness and complexity.
While best enjoyed in its youth to showcase its lively fruit and minerality, Les Mondes 2020 will evolve gracefully over the next years.

Frequently Asked Questions
Whole-berry maceration helps extract delicate aromas and flavours from the grape skins without releasing too many tannins.
A short 36-hour maceration helps balance aromatic expression and smooth texture, creating a wine with bright, vibrant flavours.
Following this, maceration by saignée involves draining off some of the juice after it has had brief contact with the skins, concentrating the remaining juice and enhancing the wine’s intensity and depth.
Negative sorting is a method used to remove any damaged, under-ripe, or undesirable grapes before the harvest begins.
This ensures that only the healthiest and ripest bunches are selected, allowing the vines to focus their energy on the best fruit.
Aging in amphorae allows the wine to undergo subtle oxygenation, which softens its structure and enhances its complexity.
The slightly porous nature of the amphora encourages a natural integration of flavours while preserving the wine’s minerality and purity.
This aging method also helps maintain the freshness of the wine.
