Gem

"Don't miss it!"

This white wine comes from young vines cultivated with abundant foliage to extract the very essence of the grape variety. It exudes a rare aromatic intensity, with a fruity core that opens up to notes of broom and ivy-covered vines. On the palate, it is supple and reveals remarkable acidity and rich, indulgent aromas, with a clean and very fresh finish. A true delight for any occasion—perfect for sharing! ( Screw cap)

Rated estate (2025 guide) Featured (Successful Wine)

About the estate:

At the age of twenty-three, while writing his doctoral dissertation in oenology, Frédéric Brochet established his small winery using the 49 ares of vineyards inherited from his father. This marked the beginning of Ampelidæ, which took shape in the family cellar at La Mailleterie. Since 2004, with the support of the Meuli family and a group of winemakers from the Vienne region, his vineyard has expanded to 90 hectares cultivated organically, spread over some 30 kilometers around Jaunay-Marigny and distributed across several properties, complemented by a wine trading business.
