Les Beaux Monts is a red Chinon from the Loire Valley in France, made from 100% Cabernet Franc. The vines are 40 to 60 years old and grow in clay and limestone soils, farmed organically with certification.
Catherine and Pierre Breton farm eleven hectares of vines near Bourgueil, in the village of Restigné. They make Chinon and Bourgueil, plus a little Vouvray. They received organic certification in 1991, introduced biodynamic practices in 1994, and have recently begun the three-year process of seeking biodynamic certification. Pierre is the principal cellar master, while Catherine makes a series of cuvées under the label La Dilettante. The Bretons divide their wines into Natural Wines, Classic Wines and Wines of Terroir, which are vinified parcel by parcel.
