About the Terroir and Wine Making

Grape variety Chenin Blanc

Soil This cuvée comes from a fine selection of vines (2 ha), mainly developed on the tuffeau stone, the limestone of the Châteaux of the Loire. The Chenin Blanc, the only grape variety of this cuvée, expresses itself particularly well thanks to this terroir, where the soft chalk is usually less than 60 cm deep and allows for a moderate water supply, which is conducive to quality viticulture.

Vinification Fine selection of grapes, gentle pressing and fermentation at cool temperatures to preserve the aromas. Alcoholic fermentation at 18°C.

Aged on fine lees for 9 months. A small part of the cuvée is matured in barrels, adding complexity.

Advice tasting

Appearance Golden yellow colour.

Aroma Tender and subtle nose revealing dried fruits (hazelnut), candied fruits (apricot, pineapple, juicy mango), slightly toasted and spicy (sweet vanilla).

Flavour Voluminous and unctuous mouth blending exotic fruits and candied apricot. The finish is greedy and harmonious with a nice balance between freshness and sweetness.
