Description
An elegant red wine with exceptional ageing potential
The estate
Founded between 800 and 1000 AD by Benedictine monks, the wine estate of Château de Fosse-Sèche was owned by the Church for several centuries. Passionate about wine and ecology, Guillaume Pire took over the estate in 1998 with the ambition of crafting distinctive Loire wines that authentically express their native terroirs. In 2010, Guillaume was joined by his twin brother, Adrien.
Château de Fosse-Sèche watches over a 15-hectare vineyard with singular geology, farmed organically and biodynamically. Made up of flint stones and iron oxide, these soils also benefit from a cool, windy exposure. Alongside their wives, Guillaume and Adrien Pire are deeply committed to an environmentally respectful approach. As a result, one third of the land area is devoted to vine growing, and the remaining two thirds to preserving biodiversity and nature. In this way, 30 hectares are fully dedicated to the development of ecosystems.
Château de Fosse-Sèche is renowned for its Loire wines with a unique personality, harmoniously combining precision, purity and power.
The wine
Laurasie 2020 from Château de Fosse-Sèche is a Vin de France made from a vineyard whose roughly fifteen-year-old vines are planted on soils composed of flint with gravels bound by slightly clayey earth. This terroir, which encourages very deep rooting, benefits from a temperate climate with oceanic influence—ideal conditions to ensure slow, gradual ripening of the berries.
Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon (100%).
