Lune Rayée Red 2021,
Pic Epeiche
The 2021 edition of Lune Rayée from the Pic-Épeiche estate (Haut-Layon, Anjou) is a continuation of the previous vintage, but denser and more intense. This natural cuvée is traditionally produced, entirely by hand, by Jean-Baptiste Peltier. It is made from Cabernet Franc (80%) and Cabernet Sauvignon (20%) planted in the same plot on clay-limestone soil.
Vinification
Lune Rayée 2021, from the Pic-Épeiche estate, was produced without any inputs to the vineyard except for a little Bordeaux mixture as needed, and without sulfites added to the vinification. Semicarbonic maceration lasts 16 days, followed by a long fermentation in vats using indigenous yeasts. Aging takes place on lees for eleven months, with passage through a vertical press in between.
Tasting
The color of Lune Rayée 2021 is significantly darker than that of the previous vintage. Extraction has been a little more extensive, which intensifies the minerality and structure of the wine. The color remains brilliant, a beautiful, clear ruby. On the palate, there is always this savory, fruity length (still and always fresh strawberries), a marked structure and a saline finish. Lune Rayée 2021 from the Pic-Épeiche estate is a lively and intense wine, with a red fruit structure. This wine without additives is ready to compete with local cuisine — coq au vin for example — but also with local charcuterie and cured meats , which it will enhance as an aperitif. The best would be a roasted squab . Serve slightly chilled.
Learn more about the Pic-Épeiche estate
Entirely natural, prepared in a traditional and artisanal way, the Pic-Épeiche estate is located in Haut-Layon, in Anjou. It is run by Jean-Baptiste Peltier, who learned the trade from Jérôme Lambert https://culinaries.fr/producteurs/jerome-lambert/ and Patrick Desplats: yet another fine example of a natural, non-interventionist wine estate in this Loire region where there are many.
Vineyard and cellar
Very little intervention, therefore, but a lot of vigilance: "We accompany the grapes," says Jean-Baptiste about his natural wines. Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, Chenin and Grolleau, all from old vines, cultivated and vinified without additives. The macerations are short but the aging is long, almost a year in vats, entirely on lees.
The style
All the freshness and liveliness of the clay-limestone soils are intact in the wines of the Pic-Épeiche estate, which offer the full typicity of the Anjou terroirs worked naturally. Red and white wines are fruity and flavorful, offering a lively and nuanced expression of the local grape varieties: Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Grolleau and Chenin.
