Domaine Les Grandes Vignes ‘Le P’tit Vaillant’ Rouge NV
Location: France, Loire, Bellevigne-en-Layon
Winemaker: Jean-François Vaillant
Grapes: Grolleau, Cabernet Franc
Soil: Clay, silt, some shells
Winemaking: De-stemmed with a short maceration and aged in ceramic underground vat. Little/no addition of SO2, no filtering or fining.
From us at M&L: ‘Le P’tit Vaillant’ is a blend of Grolleau and Cabernet Franc, all hand-harvested. Fresh and earthy with a lovely play between the rosehip/petal qualities of Grolleau and the green peppery spice of Cabernet Franc. Can handle a chill.
From the Importer Avant Garde: Since the XVII century, located in the village of Thouarce in Anjou, the Vaillant family has passed on farmland from generations to generations. For the last ten years, sister and brothers have cultivated the estate using the biodynamic principles. The goal is to express the personality of each wines.
55ha of vines of Chenin Blanc, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau and Pineau d’Aunis are planted. The diversity of their cuvees is due to the different type of soils and exposure found: schist sandstone, quartz, gravel, and clay.
