The Trois Freres Estate
The Couillaud brothers, Bernard, Michel and François, joined together in 1979 and expanded the original small family holding to the present size. They export their wines in England, Japan, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and the U.S.A.
"This estate has been one of my value picks in other vintages, and they still offer very good quality for bargain hunters." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, June 2012
The Trois Freres Vineyard
Located on a south-facing slope of granitic soil near the village of Vallet, in the heart of the Muscadet de Sèvre et Maine appellation, the vineyard measures 66 hectares (145.73 acres): 36 hectares (88.92 acres) planted with Melon de Bourgogne (Muscadet), 27 hectares (66.69 acres) with Chardonnay and 3 hectares (7.41 acres) with Gros-Plant.
All older vintage wines have been purchased from a single collectors cellar. Pictures can be requested before shipment.
This 100% Chardonnay blend is made from Tête de Cuvée, or first pressing of the grapes, considered superior in quality, with a high percentage of reserve wines for extra complexity, depth and richness, and a low added dosage to preserve purity and freshness.
Boussey Savigny les Beaune is made from 100 percent Pinot Noir.
The grapes for this wine arecoming from 3 different parcels of Savigny les Beaune loctaed in these 3 different lieux-dits: Les Saucours, les Petits Liards and Les Fourches.
The wine shows aromas of Red fruits with floral notes. It is elegant with a very pleasant long finish.
