Aziaum Rouge is a single-parcel wine from the Jardin à la Boulaudière vineyard in Azay-le-Rideau, Touraine. It is made from 100% Côt — the Loire Valley name for Malbec — grown on clay over silica soils above a tuffeau limestone bedrock. The estate is certified biodynamic under Demeter and AB France. Sold as Vin de France, as the Touraine Azay-le-Rideau AOC covers only white and rosé wines.
Quentin Bourse harvests by hand in multiple passes with a crew of around 25, sorting the grapes four times before fermentation. All reds at Le Sot de l'Ange undergo whole-cluster fermentation with indigenous yeasts, and zero sulfur is added during the winemaking process. This cuvée is aged in terracotta amphora, which imparts texture and oxygen micro-exchange without introducing wood tannins or oak flavor.
The 2015 vintage in the Loire delivered warm, dry conditions that produced ripe, concentrated fruit with good structure. At 14% ABV, this is a fuller expression of Loire Côt — darker and more structured than the entry-level blends from the domaine — reflecting both the specific Jardin à la Boulaudière parcel and the warmth of the growing season.
