100% Pineau d’Aunis. Pineau d’Aunis is an historical black grape of the Touraine–in the same family with Menu Pineau and its more sophisticated cousin Pineau de la Loire, aka Chenin Blanc–but is a rare bird even here in its native Loire. The Puzelats source tiny quantities of it, mainly from neighbor vigneronne Valrie Forgues, who organically tends and hand harvests her hundred-plus-year-old vines. 2015 was their first vintage of this bottling. Typical of Tue-Boeuf reds, the fruit goes as whole clusters into huge oak vats for a spontaneous fermentation, which is a semi-carbonic maceration with a closed top for around 10 to 14 days. The clusters are pressed and the wine finishes with a non-carbonic, open top fermentation in vat. The Pineau is aged for about 8 months in used Burgundy barrels; it is bottled without fining or filtration and with little to no sulfur. It is classified as Vin de France.
