IGP Val de Loire is the appelation of this newly created wine by Florent Barichard, it’s from a plot called Les Gavroches aux Cailloux, the reason why this is called Les Cailloux. 100% Pinot noir with a vivid red colour and a nose of fresh red fruits that become slightly acidulous on the palate. Amazing wine from this Domaine.
After travelling the southern hemisphere garnering experience in New Zealand and South Africa, Florent Barichard settled back in his homeland in 2013 on the sandy terrains of Châtel-de-Neuvre. With the support of his aunt and uncle, Valérie and Éric, he divided up his 9.5 hectares vineyard, dedicating a third of it to white grape varieties such as Trésailler and Chardonnay and the remainder to the red grapes, Gamay and Pinot Noir. Each vintage is uniquely balanced, acidity ,sugar and alcohol agree. The wines are aged in concrete vats and oak barrels .
