  • Remy Pannier Chinon
    REMY PANNIER CHINON Remy Pannier has been identified with premium quality Loire Valley wines since 1885, when it was founded by Francois Rémy. In 1956, Remy Pannier decided to partner with Maison Ackerman, the pioneer of Loire sparkling wine production. Ackerman then passed the company down to his son, Louis Ackerman, who kept the tradition of fine winemaking in the family for generations. Over the years, Remy Pannier has developed strong working relationships with over 800 growers throughout the Loire Valley. Working closely with these affiliated growers, Remy Pannier provides advice on the latest viticultural practices to ensure production of the finest quality grapes. Remy Pannier has built three state-of-the-art wineries in the premier Loire Valley wine districts of Anjou, Touraine and the Pays Nantais where all their Loire Valley wines are vinified. Remy Pannier’s attractive packaging reflects over a century of tradition and experience in Loire Valley winemaking. PRODUCTION AREA Country: France Region: Loire Valley Appellation: Chinon AOC The ancient town of Chinon dates back to Roman times. The designated vineyard area covers 3,250 acres between the Loire and Vienne Rivers. Vines grown on the hillsides and isolated Turonian chalk hillocks (yellow limestone) and also on the plateaux and hillocks mainly consisting of flintclay and sands (Senonian). GRAPE VARIETIES 100% Cabernet Franc VINIFICATION The grapes start their maceration after passing through a destemmer. Fermentation lasts from 15 to 30 days in stainless steel tanks with regular remontage (punching of the cap). Malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is aged 7 to 12 months before bottling.
