Les Cailloux du Paradis L`Icaunais Claude Courtois 2019

Nestled in the heart of Soings-en-Sologne, 35 km from Blois, Claude Courtois and his sons meticulously craft their wines using ancestral methods, staunchly advocating for natural wine. The vineyards strictly adhere to principles of no pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, chemical fertilizers, or synthetic substances. The resulting wines are pure and vibrant, a testament to exceptional biodynamic winemaking. Crafted exclusively from Gascon grapes – a nearly forgotten and rare variety in the Loire Valley – ‘L`Icaunais’ undergoes fermentation and ageing in used barriques. It offers a rustic charm with earthy aromas, red fruit flavours, subtle hints of oxidation, and smoky notes. Perfect with a hearty meal.
