Overview

Cultivated in the heart of the Loire Valley’s terroir, Damien Laureau’s l’Aurore is a delectable labor of love, crafted from hand-harvested grapes and nurtured in organic vineyards. Rooted in schist and limestone soils, these grapes absorb the essence of their mineral-rich environment. After 12 months of aging in French oak barrels, l’Aurore emerges with notes of ripe peach, subtle citrus, and a hint of toasted almond. Its natural acidity and mineral character make l’Aurore a perfect companion to a variety of dishes. Seafood enthusiasts will appreciate its affinity for dishes like grilled lobster or pan-seared trout, and charcutiers will enjoy it paired alongside soft, creamy brie.
