The Story

The vineyards lie hard on the banks of the Loire River and are frequently covered in an early morning mist. The soil is almost exclusively composed of schist which renders a classic Savennieres: rigorous, bone-dry, with an intense minerality to the finish. The grapes are harvested manually and then are fermented in barrel using only indigenous yeasts. The élevage is also in barrel, none of which are new. The wine never undergoes the malolactic fermentation. Bottling occurs 12 months after the harvest. Approximately 4,200 bottles are reserved for our use in the USA.

About Ch de l'Eperonniere

Brand Story

Coming from a family of winegrowers, Mathieu Tijou took over, with his wife Charlotte, the family property purchased by his great-grandfather in 1900: the Château de l'Éperonnière. Immersed in the wine world from his childhood, Mathieu studied oenology in Nantes and Bordeaux, then cut his teeth in South Africa and Australia. After ten years of winemaking at Château Soucherie, Mathieu chose to strike out on his own by creating a new vineyard on a terroir that he knows well, worked for a long time by his family in the heart of the Coteaux du Layon.
