Overview

In addition to his estate wines, Jean-François operates as a négociant buying fruit from several neighbors to make varietal wines under the Hexagonales label. The Pinot Noir comes from a parcel of Pinot Noir in Saint Pourçain on chalky clay-limestone soils. It is fermented and aged in tank, preserving the crisp and crunchy red fruit typical of Pinot Noir grown in the Loire Valley.
