From Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil

Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil may be a small appellation but it has a big personality! We constantly strive to produce wines which increasingly reflect their terroir, which is the environment in which they are grown, including soil, topography and climate. We also place great importance on protecting the environment and improving the visitor experience. Here are a few examples of what we can do when we work together.

Gourmandises en Loire

Every Thursday morning, from 20/06 to 12/09 come for a discover on board of the barge « La Martinienne II » the river Loire and his marine, as well as commented tasting of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil wines and local products.  

The identity
of the Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil appellation

    We decided to commit together to a number of programmes, the first serving the vineyards. We are going to commission a 3-year soil study to gain a better understanding of the different component parts of the terroir. Alongside this, we are stepping up...

WELCOME TO OUR HOMELAND

THE SAINT NICOLAS DE BOURGUEIL ECOSYSTEM

An appellation in a village of irrepressible winegrowers

Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil is the name of both the village and the red wine it produces. It lies just below a forest and above troglodytic cellars on the banks of the Loire in the heart of a Nature Park in western France. All our inhabitants live according to the rhythm of the seasons and the work in the vineyards and, because our place of work is also where we live, it makes sense to us to look after our environment.

We work as one to protect our vineyards and ward off the threats of climate change, using jointly selected alternative bio-control methods that are less invasive. We also still operate one of the last independent procurement and supply structures. Each and every day we realise that “Alone you can work faster but together you can go further”.

WELCOME TO OUR HOMELAND

“LA REDEMANDE”

Loved for its elegance

The wines of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil are sociable and easy drinking, earning them the nickname “la redemande”: a wine you will order again and again, as the French name suggests. It’s a popular choice in most Paris brasseries but this popularity means we sometimes forget the appellation also produces wines which are true to terroir, crafted by artisan winemakers for laying down and celebrating more special occasions.

In the heart of the Loire Valley

An unforgettable journey between vineyards and castles

The wine route runs 800 km along the Loire from Nantes to Clermont-Ferrand. It alternates between vine fields and majestic royal castles, symbols of this French way of life. A vineyard of diversity, renowned both for its whites and reds, it is home to no less than 24 grape varieties and 69 appellations.

La planète Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil

Une appellation communale dans un village «d’irréductibles» vignerons résument cet écosystème

Saint Nicolas est à la fois le nom du village et du vin rouge qu’il produit. Nous sommes à l’ouest de la France, sur les bords de la Loire, au cœur d’un parc naturel, juste sous la forêt et au dessus  des caves troglodytiques. Tous les habitants vivent au rythme des saisons et du travail de la vigne. Lieu de vie et lieu de culture ne faisant qu’un nous avons fait le choix commun de soigner notre environnement. Solidaires, nous savons collectivement protéger notre vignoble. Nous maintenons  encore à ce jour l’une des dernières structures indépendantes d’achat de fourniture.  Nous choisissons ensemble des méthodes alternatives moins invasives  de bio-contrôle. Nous conjuguons nos efforts pour éviter les nuisances du changement climatique. Et tous les jours nous constatons que « Seul on va plus vite, ensemble on va plus loin ».

CABERNET FRANC

THE MAIN SAINT NICOLAS DE BOURGUEIL GRAPE

The Cabernet Franc grape is grown predominantly in France and flourishes on the Atlantic coast, between Aquitaine and the Loire Valley. Its elegant, aromatic qualities and lovely structure lend themselves to delicately fruity convivial wines but also deep, soft tannin wines for laying down. Because Cabernet Franc is found in 95% of Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil wine, it is the work of our 100 or so winemakers on their land and in their wineries which adds individuality to their wines.

CROSS-SECTION OF THE VILLAGE

Behind our united front lies a plethora of individual terroirs

Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil stretches east to west through tuffeau forests to the bed of the Loire. The village has three very distinct terroirs, each with its own diversity of subsoils. It is in this that the originality and typicity of the wines lie. To gain a better understanding of these terroirs, we are going to commission a soil study based on 1,000 core samples.
