Quatre Mains La Grange Tiphaine 2022
Quatre Mains, pure Sauvignon, is the perfect expression of the Amboise terroir. The peculiar soils on which the vineyards are planted consist of silica, red rocks and deep limestone and the terroir is fundamental to the production of a great wine like Quatre Mains.
The vineyards have a southwest exposure and an average age of 50 years, all cultivated following organic and biodynamic practices.
Fermentation is conducted in barrels exclusively by indigenous yeasts.
La Grange Tiphaine - Coralie et Damien Delecheneau
In 2000, in Montlouis Sur Loire, Damien Delecheneau took the reins of the family winery, La Grange Tiphaine. From 2008, Coralie also began to join Damien at the winery, bringing her feminine touch easily detected in the wines as well.
Damien converts the farm's 15 hectares first to organic farming and then to biodynamic farming. The vineyards are located in the municipalities of Montlouis sur Loire and Touraine-Amboise. The varieties grown are those most typical of the Loire area: Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Cót (Malbec), Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon.
Fermentations are spontaneous. Vinification and aging are elaborated in cement tanks and large barrels.
The winery philosophy can be summarized as follows, “Agronomic richness, empirical experience, ancestral passion ... The vines draw inspiration from a generous and delicate soil. For five generations, this soil has been tilled, turned and cleared, giving an undeniable character to the Domaine's wines”.
