Description
 
Catherine and Pierre Breton (he's pictured) have been running their 15 hectare vineyard along organic lines since 1991; they’ve been biodynamic since 1997. Located between Tours and Samur in the Loire Valley, they specialize in red wines from the Chinon and Bourgueil appellations. They use indigenous yeasts for their fermentations, and only the minimum use of sulfur dioxide (typically 10 mg/litre of SO2 added at bottling). All wines are unfiltered, and the goal is to make wines that express their terroirs and vintage.

Bourgueil “La Dilettante”:
Dilettante “Dabbler” is a project started by Pierre’s wife, Catherine Breton. Similar to the Trinch but vinified using whole cluster, carbonic maceration without sulfur. Another wine meant for immediate consumption, low alcohol, low-sulfur, pure Cabernet Franc. Aged in cement “eggs” and bottled unfiltered in the Spring after harvest.
