Clos du Vigneau is a family estate located in Saint-Nicolas de Bourgueil.
Six generations of Jamet winemakers have been here since 1820. The soils are
composed of sand and pebbles called ³graviers², a type of soil which very
quickly heats up and makes for supple, light, fruity wines. The 22 hectares
of vines are of the Cabernet Franc variety. The average yield is
intentionally limited to 55 hectolitres per hectare, so as to improve the
intrinsic
quality of the wines. Manual harvesting methods allow the grapes to be
picked quickly and at optimum ripeness. Fermentation is carried out in
modern, temperature-controlled stainless-steel vats, offering a guarantee of
irreproachable hygiene. The wine stays there for 3 to 5 months, then goes
down to the cellar, where it matures at its own speed in wooden casks
providing perfect oxygenation. The wines have a fine, brilliant ruby-red
colour, the aromas of raspberry are subtle and complex, the wines elegant
and supple, harmonious and perfectly balanced. These are clean, honest wines
with good ageing potential.
