Domaine Jo Pithon: 2005 La Croix Picot Savennières (before the split)
At the HG Wines tasting on Monday 17th Jo’s brother, Olivier of Domaine Olivier Pithon in the Roussillon, brought me up to date with what Jo is now doing.

In January Jo Pithon walked out of Domaine Jo Pithon, which had been bought by Philip Fournier, PDG d’Afone in Angers, in 2005. Jo has kept Les Treilles, the long abandoned parcel of five hectares overlooking the Layon which Jo and Isabelle Pithon had started to replant in 2000. For more details of Les Treilles go to next posting: Some views from the Coteaux du Layon. Olivier told me that Jo had kept another parcel. He is also has a new négociant activity and will have a stand at the Salon des Vins de Loire 2009 (3rd-5th February 2009).
