Jean-Pierre farms a total of seven hectares of land across two appellations, Jasnières and the Coteaux-du-Loir. The vines are planted over a mix of red clay, limestone and silex and are tended organically, with the majority of treatments coming in the form of infusions of wild plants such as nettles and ferns. Parcels are harvested by hand individually and fermentations take place in the labyrinth of ancient limestone caves beneath the vines.

Le Regard is Pineau d’Aunis from thirty year old vines planted over this wonderful terroir. The grapes were fermented as whole bunches for three weeks and spent fifteen months ageing in old barrels. As always, this is made from the first of the variety the family harvested, and as such, it is the most immediate of their reds. From a cool, classic vintage, it pours a gleaming ruby and is taut, neat, and fragrant with wild strawberry and cracked pepper.
