Variety: Cabernet Franc
Vine Age: Planted in 1983
Terroir: This clos is surrounded by the wall of the Château de la Durandière, belonging to Etienne's family, and the neighboring forest. The vineyard is among only 20ha in Saumur with a hard Bathonian limestone bedrock from the Jurassic period, as opposed to the more typical tuffeau. The shallow topsoils (30 to 60cm) are composed of clayey sand or sandy loam with iron oxide. The vineyard is early-ripening and well-draining, with limited vigor and active limestone, and Etienne's goal here is to obtain the most ethereal and elegant wine possible.
Viticulture: Organic, biodynamic practices, Guyot-Poussard pruning, Etienne's goal is to keep yields at or below 40hl/ha.
Vinification: Ambient yeast fermentation, partial whole cluster inclusion (up to 35%), no punch-downs or pump-overs. Aged for a minimum of 2 years in used barrels (1 to 3 wines old), followed by another 6 months in vats and 6 months in bottle. SO2 first added after aging (< 20 ppm total).
Étienne Bodet is part of the 5th generation of a family of vignerons, who have owned the vineyards in the right bank of Montreiul-Bellay since the end of the 19th Century. He also amassed a fortune of experience, having worked at prominent domaines and with significant names in Champagne, Burgundy and the Loire, including Sylvain Pataille, Bernard Baudry, François Dal, Aurélien Gerbais, the Guiberteau estate and the Clos Rougeard. He still currently works at Clos Rougeard.
