Description
The Producers, Thomas and Charlotte Carsin, are avid sailors and their love of the sea often influences their winemaking and naming, in this case, La Boussole means compass.
Grapes are hand harvested and pressed directly. After 2 days of cold settling the juice is racked into stainless steel tanks where spontaneous fermentation begins. The wine is left to mature for a short time in stainless steel with the fine lees prior to bottling.
In 2008, Thomas and Charlotte Carsin found their dream domaine, Clos de L’Elu, a 20 hectare site in the Layon Valley near Chaume in the Western part of the Loire. They took over the existing domaine and began a slow but exhilarating process of transformation. They revitalised the vineyards, planted native grapes, experimented with alternate ageing vessels and ultimately crafted the exceptional wines of their dreams.
