Breton Bourgueil Nuits de Livresse (750ml)

Catherine and Pierre Breton’s vineyards have been anchored in the Loire since 1886 – more than four generations. They are winegrowers of natural organic and biodynamic wines in the Loire Valley and cultivate a family vineyard of 17 hectares in Indre-et-Loire in Benais: 10 hectares in the Bourgueil appellation, 1 hectare in the Vouvray appellation and 6 hectares in the Chinon appellation.  The Bretons first introduced biodynamic practices into their viticulture in 1994, just after receiving their organic certification in 1991.  They have become international icons for the natural wine movement in an area where the climate and soil can make organic viticulture difficult.  Their wines are beautiful expressions of terroir, conscientious teamwork, and artisanal savoir-faire.
