Item Description
For Thierry Michon, the gregarious force behind one of the Loire’s best-kept secrets, Domaine Saint Nicolas, it's all about the soil. Working on schist and silex a stone’s throw away from the Atlantic, Thierry is the prophet of biodynamics in this tiny viticultural area. His vineyards never see a non-organic product. Thierry raises his own cows simply for the manure they produce which he religiously spreads between the vines. He has slowly purchased buffer zones all around his property to prevent chemical products from other winemakers from seeping into his parcels. For him, biodynamics isn’t a pragmatic consideration, it's a religion. This is 100% Pinot Noir, aged partially in used barrels and partially in tank. True, this is not traditional pinot noir country (it's practically Muscadet!), but one taste will prove Thierry is on to something truly special here. Try it with grilled salmon! 89 points Wine Spectator: "Restrained but very pure, with a lovely beam of black cherry and spice carried by a hint of graphite on the racy finish.
