The north contributes aromatic precision, elegance, and freshness, while the south adds depth, warmth, and powerful structure. The vines—planted between 1970 and 1980—are deeply rooted in mixed clay, galestro, and sandy soils, giving natural concentration and complexity to the fruit.

Aging is for 24 months in 225-liter French oak barriques—about one-third new—before the wine is bottled unfiltered.

The 2021 Barbaresco offers medium-rich density that is transmitted both to the wine's appearance and its mouthfeel. There is black fruit, spice and a touch of nutmeg.

A more profound technical influence came from Michel Chevré, formerly of Clos de l’Ecotard. Today, the estate's viticultural practices have notably high standards. Anatole oversees a team of seven across the 21 hectares, emphasizing soil management, using grass and cover crops adapted to the specific needs of each vintage and employing bioprotection in the cellar.

The new owner, the studied enologist, then computer engineer and co-founder of one of the biggest business consulting companies in the world, Anatole de la Brosse, returned to wine at almost 50 years old and has sold out his production quickly in France yet hasn’t opened up much export yet. He currently converts the former domaine, whose terroirs he believes \"are great\" to organic viticulture, with the assistance of technical consultant Michel Chevré. Also, Nady Foucault, former owner of the iconic Clos Rougeard, is consulting for him. The estate covers 15 hectares in the commune of Parnay, where they are located on the hillside. Rooting in clay-limestone soils, the vines average 35 years of age. About 95% of the vineyard is planted in Cabernet Franc in the Saumur Champigny AOC. The domaine also has a few plots of Chenin, which are used to produce the Saumur Blanc. Heavy investments have been made as well: the soil is now worked to avoid the use of chemicals; a new sorting table makes it possible to select the best fruits and to eliminate all the undesirable elements; a new destemmer scrapes the grapes without damaging them, which improves the quality of the maceration; a new 30-hectoliter pneumatic press gently presses the grapes; gravity is used instead of pumps; and the tanks are thermo-regulated for perfect control. No chemicals are added during the whole process except for small quantities of sulfur dioxide.

No, the headline is that in July 2022, Clerget bought Domaine Regis Rossignol-Changarnier and its eight hectares of vine. These were split with fellow winemaker Arnaud Baillot, though as Clerget put the deal together, he essentially got first dibs on which vineyards he wanted to add to his Pommard\/Volnay-focused portfolio. Each ended up with four hectares.

I didn’t make much wine, just 35hL\/ha for the reds and 45hL\/ha for the whites. I did only pump-overs for the extraction with no pumping down - infusion, really. I used some whole bunch on the reds, depending on the vineyard. I like the 2022 vintage as we have balance and freshness.
