Chai Amandine & Quentin - Amandine Bureau & Quentin Javoy
We are Amandine & Quentin, we work 5 hectares of vines in Mézières-Lez-Cléry (south of Orléans) and in the surrounding villages, according to the principles of organic and biodynamic agriculture. We work the vines and their soils by hand or using mechanical tools, without using synthetic products. We stimulate life in our soils with the contribution of biodynamic preparations and with sowing of green manures: mustard, beans, rye, rapeseed, peas, oats, etc. In spring, we accompany the vine by helping its natural defenses thanks in particular to herbal teas: comfrey, nettles, chamomile, yarrow, oak bark for example.
We protect the trees that grow naturally in our vines, and plan to plant them in order to create a fulfilling environment of biodiversity, and to recreate hedges.
Our grapes are harvested manually, and our vinification is natural: we add nothing to our vats. Our wine is not filtered to keep as many aromas as possible, which sometimes leads to natural deposits in the bottle. We offer cuvées in AOC Orléans, Orléans-Cléry and Vin de France.
