Guillaume Pire was born in Belgium, he grew up in Madagascar. In 1998, the Pire family bought the Château de Fosse-Sèche. After his studies in Switzerland, including time working at the pioneering Rouvinez estate, Guillaume took over the family estate with his brother Adrien. The vineyards were first established 800 years ago, and the Château dates back to the 13th Century; Fosse-Sèche is made up of a 45 continuous hectares, including 17 ha of vines . Around their vines, Guillaume and Adrien have developed a true ecosystem, bringing back bats, replanting trees, flowers and green spaces for generations to come… obviously we’re way beyond organic here. The two brothers are impassioned by their work, and make no concessions. All the Saumur cuvée have been reclassified in Vin de France in order to let a bigger place to their freedom. What’s for certain is that discovering Guillaume and Adrien’s wines is an all-natural shock to the system – in a very good way!

Arcane, adj.: "mysterious, secret; relating to a Hermetic operation whose secrets are known only to the initiated". It's so good you may well want to keep this wine a secret! A nose with floral, pear and honey notes. Complex, precise, and brimming of energy, with a long, lingering finish.

A wine from another world, this vinous UFO boasts a powerful, complex nose of fruit, smoke and mineral notes. The palate is pure finesse and elegance, with great length and extreme complexity. With sensations and mouthfeel all but unique in the Loire, it’s a cuvée of inimitable personality.

A concentrated nose of cranberry, forest floor, pepper and subtle vegetal notes. The palate is pulpy, sapid, and mouthwatering, with great freshness and, as always, tremendous precision. The fine acidity promises superb ageing potential.
Organic or biodynamic wine
Huge, very concentrated fruit aromas, with notes of violet and more ripe fruits. The palate… is evocative of fine Pinot Noir – as the French would say, "Ça pinote!”. Some very clean juice. The first wine of the Fosse-Sèche range is already an exceptional cuvée.

A nose with notes of flowers and pears. Palate: a complex sparkling wine, dry and taut, with a lingering finish. Lovely energy! This is the Arcane cuvée vinified as a brut nature sparkling wine.

Enchanting nose of mango, white peach, honey, honeysuckle... Taste: perfect triptych of volume, tension and persistence, three grams of residual sugar per liter. The two brothers crafted a wine of great emotion.
