Les Quatre Piliers - Au Dessus de Vitré 2021
The Les Quatre Piliers estate is among these contemporary Loire Valley projects led by a new generation of committed winemakers, dedicated to demanding organic viticulture and a sensitive interpretation of the Touraine terroirs. The estate works with carefully selected plots for their ability to express the freshness, precision, and identity of the Loire soils. Here, the wine is conceived as a wine of place, balance, and accuracy, where each cuvée tells a parcel and human story. Les Quatre Piliers stand out for a clear, straightforward, and modern style, highly appreciated for its drinkability and sincerity. The estate is now established as a discreet but sought-after address for lovers of taut and expressive white wines.
Au Dessus de Vitré 2021 is a parcel-specific Touraine cuvée, from a vine identified for the quality of its soil and its exposure, offering a deeper and more composed expression of the grape variety. The 2021 vintage, marked by beautiful freshness, promotes elegance, tension, and aromatic precision. The vinification is conducted with restraint and care, in a low-intervention spirit, to preserve the terroir’s identity and the purity of the fruit. The aging is deliberately measured, conceived as a discreet accompaniment to the material rather than a technical signature. This cuvée embodies a more serious and gastronomic interpretation of the Les Quatre Piliers style.
