The vinification of this Pineau d'Aunis is distinguished by fermentation in truncated conical oak vats, followed by semi-carbonic maceration for 15 to 21 days. This method combines tradition and innovation to enhance the unique character of the grape variety. Aging for six months in demi-muids and Burgundy barrels imparts a refined structure that respects the integrity of the fruit. The clay-flint and sandy soils, along with vines ranging from 3 to 80 years old, contribute to the complexity of this exceptional wine.

Clos Du Tue Boeuf
At Puzelat, the aim isn't to correct the wine, but to guide it. Producing Gamay or Menu Pineau in Touraine thus becomes an exercise in controlled freedom. The wines often display a very open, almost juicy fruit character, but underpinned by a thread of acidity that keeps them balanced. They are unique and unlike anything else. This has been the house's signature for decades.
