ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
This Chenin Blanc hails from the Touraine region of France's Loire Valley. The grapes are grown in clay and flint soils from vineyards averaging 15 years of age, cultivated using sustainable farming practices. The grapes undergo direct pressing, and the juice is fermented in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged for 4 months on its fine lees in steel tanks before being bottled with light filtration. Brilliant yellow with golden reflections, the wine offers enticing aromas of quince, plum, apricot, and acacia blossom. On the palate, it displays a lovely mineral character complemented by a suave, well-balanced mouthfeel.
