J. Mourat 'Collection Rouge' 2021 Loire Valley, France

Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Negrette

Fiefs Vendéens, Loire Valley, France

Vignobles Mourat was created in 1974 when Jérémie Mourat’s father purchased an estate. Jérémie, a dynamic young winemaker, took over for his father in 2000 and has steadily been raising the profile for their region, the Fiefs Vendéens. Located an hour south from Nantes along the central coast of France, Fiefs Vendéens is the westernmost region of the Loire Valley, located 20 km from the Atlantic coast. Jérémie has been converting to organic farming, working naturally in the cellar, and championing the history and traditions of this winemaking region, which can trace its roots to the Romans.

Vines age from 15-30+ years old. Fruit is picked, destemmed, then crushed and fermented with 8 days of pump-overs. Fermentation and ageing in temperature controlled stainless steel.
