The History of Clos Saint-Fiacre
The Montigny-Piel family has been carrying on the Clos Saint-Fiacre winegrowing tradition in Mareau-aux-Prés for several generations. The family has been growing vines here since 1635 on the best terroirs of the Orléans and Orléans-Cléry appellations d’origine contrôlée (AOC).
Bénédicte and Hubert Piel took over the family estate in 2001, following in the footsteps of Daniel Montigny, who worked for 25 years at the head of the winegrowers’ union to obtain the Orléans and Orléans-Cléry appellations.
The family now farms 15 hectares of vines.

Culture:
The vineyards are cultivated using sustainable methods. The vines are grassed and pruned short. Every year, we carry out meticulous disbudding, removing double buds to give the main bud maximum ventilation and light so that the grapes reach optimum ripeness. We also carry out green harvesting if necessary.
Winemaking:
The grapes are destemmed before undergoing 48 hours of cold maceration. This is followed by a traditional alcoholic fermentation at 25°C in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats with daily pump-overs. Maceration lasts a fortnight before maturing in stainless steel vats and bottling at the estate.

These aromas are reflected in a perfectly balanced, long, suave and supple palate. It is both juicy and invigorating, perfect for accompanying white meats, grilled meats and grilled fish.
