Lot presentation

Fiefs Vendéens de Brem Haut des Clous Domaine Saint Nicolas 2013

The wine

This wine is golden in colour with hints of amber, and a nose of citrus and beeswax. Its palate is intense and mineral. It can be aged for around ten years in the cellar. The vines are grown in a terroir of blue schist exposed to the south-east. The soil is treated biodynamically with the help of manure compost and nettle tisane. After manual harvest and natural vinification, a light and low-temperature settling takes place. The wine is then matured for 10 months in barrels.

About the Producer Saint-Nicolas

The story begins in 1960, when Patrice Michon decides to plant some vines in Brem-sur-Mer in the Vendée. 25 years later, he is joined by his two sons, Eric and Thierry Michon. They decide to modernise their winery and start planting other vines in Ile d'Olonne. Since 1995, Domaine Saint-Nicolas has been certified in organics and biodynamics. Th work carried out in the vineyard is very clean, the harvests are manual, and only indigenous yeasts are used. The low yields explain the rarity of Domaine Saint-Nicolas' wines. The domain successfully cultivates a great range of grape varieties, including Chardonnay, Chenin, Grolleau Gris, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Négrette and Gamay. Today, the wines from this domain can be found at the tables of some top-end restaurants.
