Les Georges

CHATEAU DU PETIT THOUARS

2016 - 75 cl

This 100% vin de goutte, aged uniquely in vats, is an evolution/improvment to the style of the Sélection vintage. We called it Les Georges because since our ancestor Georges Aubert de Saint Georges became the owner of Château du Petit Thouars and Comte du Petit Thouars in 1636, all of his male descendants have been called Georges or had Georges amongst their list of first names.

the winemaker's suggestion

C'est un merveilleux vin de copains, croquant de fruit, rafraîchissant, pour les planches apéritives, les grillades, le petit salé aux lentilles et autres plats canailles qui appellent les vins fruités et gouleyant. C'est très bien aussi avec fromages de chèvre et de brebis.

CHATEAU DU PETIT THOUARS

37500 Saint-Germain-sur-Vienne - Loire

When Yves and Marguerite du Petit Thouars married in 1974, they couldn't imagine that 35 years later they would be managing a 15-hectare vineyard with a fully-equipped cellar, nestled in natural limestone caves. It all began when they found archives in the family château (bought in 1634 under the advice of Cardinal Richelieu, and passed directly from father to son, down to the current generation), which showed that there had been vines there in previous centuries. Faithful to the spirit of the time and their ancestors' adventurous nature, they planted new vines and developed them to ensure that each vintage would be better than the previous one. Marguerite du Petit Thouars even became a very respected wine writer, in collaboration with Cuisine et Vins de France, Le Figaro Magazine and Amateur de Bordeaux.

I have not yet consumed any of the wine. I am concerned that the alcohol content at 13% is higher than you say on your website.

Comment from Avenue des Vins the 24/05/2018
Dear Mister Robert, Thank you for your feedback and thank you for pointing that out. The alcohol level can varies from one year to another and sometimes, winemakers forget to change it in the description. We are going to fix that error immediately. If you have any problem with the wine, don’t hesitate to send us an email to talk about it. We wish to apologize for the inconvenience caused and hope you will enjoy the wine. Team Avenue Des Vins
