We're telling you about their Winery
What a pleasure to meet people like Jacques and Agnès Carroget! And to have in our glasses the divine nectars of the Pao! Much more than a Winery, La Paonnerie is an institution. In the Côteaux d'Ancenis, of course, but also on a national level, as the wines of Jacques and Agnès are now attracting a lot of attention. In organic farming since 1997, Winery has just over 20 hectares. On this part of the right bank of the Loire, between Brittany and Anjou, the wines of the Nantes region (melon), the wines of Ancenis (gamay, pineau) and the wines of Anjou (chenin, cabernet) are represented. And even very well represented thanks to Jacques' meticulous work. Since his childhood, he has been around grapes. Since the age of 9, he has been harvesting and even if these periods were synonymous with festivities for him, he remembers some rough moments. |
But the passion remains intact and for him, winemaker is not just a job, it's a way of thinking, of seeing life. His philosophy clearly revolves around the earth, the soil and becomes over time a specialist and lover. Like his habit of putting a bit of oats in certain rows. The roots of the oats bring some nitrogen to the plant. He also sows clover, exactly for the same reasons. The musts will be richer in nitrogen and therefore of better quality. In the vat, the same topo, neither sulphur nor yeast. For his gamay for example, he harvests whole bunches of grapes. The vatting is done in semi-carbonic for 4 to 5 days. Giving pulp to the fruit is one of his priorities. Marie Carroget, their daughter, has joined Winery. The transition is going smoothly and with family but let's be sure that the philosophy remains the same! |
