Winemaker Notes

The grapes are harvested manually, then they are carefully transported to the wine cellar. The pneumatic press is filled by gravity, so grapes are not crushed. The fermentation naturally takes place in an underground vat, for about one month. After this, the aging begins. Domaine de la Pepiere practices "batonnage" (stirring of the lies). The batonnage gives a great aromatic complexity and gustatory richness to this wine. The Château Thébaud passes 30 months on the lees before the bottling. This Cru has a great ageing potential.

About the Producer

Thank you to importer Louis/Dressner and Jules Dressner for this profile of Pépière : (Click here for Louis/Dressner's Pépière notes and photos from visits and interviews) It feels strange re-writing profiles like Pépière’s. Almost like erasing the past, a past I was only tangentially part of! Joe and Denyse first visited Marc Ollivier in 1989. They likely began selling his 1988 in NYC shortly thereafter. Kevin McKenna, an equal partner at LDM since 1995, was their first customer for it when he was the buyer at Astor! It was our first Loire wine! I was three years old! But the Pépière profile…
