Clos du Tue-Boeuf is a producer known for its organic viticulture and unique approach to winemaking in the region of Touraine in the Loire Valley. The estate consists of 10 hectares in Les Montils (part of the Cheverny AOC) and an additional four hectares in a nearby village, all farmed organically since 1996. Previously managed by local legend Thierry Puzelat and his bother Jean-Marie, it's now managed by Thierry's daughters Zoë and Louise. Working with minimal intervention in the vineyard and no additions in the cellar the blend of grapes in each cuvée often differs year to year as do the wines themselves.

This is their lifted and fragrant Pineau d'Aunis from 100+ year old vines. Grapes undergo semi-carbonic maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeast, before ageing in old wooden barrels for 6 months. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur. It shows floral notes, raspberry, blackberry, blood orange and pepper on the nose followed by a lush but earthy palate with more red and black fruit.
