The plot is located on the Bourgueil appellation, in Chouzé-sur-Loire, very close to the Loire. It was Frédéric's grandfather who planted these vines more than 45 years ago at a place called "Champs Colesse". The surrounding environment defines these racy and pure aromas. Fiery and wild like the Loire. Its discreet breeding tames its marked character.
