PRIVATE COLLECTION

Our "private collection" is the expression of Maison Jean Loron style at its best. It contains rare vintages that conjugate singularity and excellence. Our "private collection" illustrates all the potential of the Gamay Noir and Chardonay grape. To reach such a result 3 conditions must be reunited: A terroir of exception, an outstanding vintage and several years of ageing.

Located mid-slope on the southeastern side of the vineyard of Saint Amour at the place called “Les
Billards”. Piedmont soils and old alluvium, very clayey, hydromorphic with some zones on deep
and altered granite.

The traditional vinification period lasts over 20 days and the use of a weighted grill (called
“griddind”) keeps the “crust” submerged in the fermenting juice to better extract the tannins.

This climat of Fleurie has an intense amaranthine colour with garnet reflections. The nose offers a perfect alchemy between floral light notes of Peony and intense aromas of red berries. The mouth
reveals small notes of raspberry and silky tannins brings a beautiful potential of guard.
