Notes on the Winemaker:  In 1988, Christian Venier began working 7 hectares of vines in the Cheverny appealltion of the Loire valley.  He is cousin of Thierry Puzelat / Clos du Tue-Boeuf who is located near by. Christian's wines are precise but full of character thanks to his meticulous work in the vineyard and hands-off approach in the cellar.
