More information on Winery Pierre André

We're talking to you about his Winery

The Winery Pierre André benefits from a terroir of great diversity: rolled pebbles (quartzites), clay, sand, limestone, and a very favourable climate for vines: a regional Mediterranean climate with the "famous mistral" which optimises sunshine while reducing rainfall and mist. The Winery Pierre André essentially owns very old vines: some plots are more than 130 years old! The average age is 70 years. His Grape varieties is essentially based on Grenache, 80% of which is Grenache for the reds, and 40% Clairette and 30% Bourboulenc for the whites. Vine care has long been a priority on Winery : organic cultivation since 1980.biodynamics follows naturally since 1992 : the vines are treated by spraying plant extracts as well as specific preparations. Finally, Winery works in harmony with cosmic rhythms. The following is a logical work with these approaches: the harvest is done by hand, sorted with the utmost rigour, the vinifications are "traditional" for the reds (harvest not destemmed and long vatting for 3 to 4 weeks, maturing in oak vats and tuns for 18 to 20 months). The wines are not filtered but only fined with fresh egg white from organic farming. For the white, after pressing and a light settling, it ferments at a temperature of 19 and 20°C and will simply be fined with bentonite without filtration. All these elements allow us to offer healthy, balanced and elegant wines with great ageing potential! Tasting :The red Châteauneuf-du-Pape (decanting for at least 4 hours is recommended) can be enjoyed from the 3rd year onwards and reach their peak between the 5th and 10th years. But they can be kept for 15 years or more depending on the vintage. White wines are generally drunk in their first 3 years to appreciate their aromatic freshness and liveliness or older around 8-10 years when they offer us a sweeter, more honeyed bouquet.
