Our Tasting Note
(13% abv) A medium lemon-gold color. A pronounced nose of orchard fruits like white peach and apricot, some orange blossom notes, saline, lanolin, and honey. Persistent and well-integrated acidity, med/med+ bodied, intense but elegantly weighted flavors. A long, harmopnious, and resonating finish with honey and saline tapering upt until the end of the minute plus finish.

Grape: Chenin Blanc, 40 years-old vines
Vineyards: Deep clay soil with white chalk. “Les Argiles” meaning Clay.
Farming: Organic and biodynamic. Vines conducted in Biodynamy. No use of phytosanitary products. Natural grass cover between the rows (Only Nematicidal & mellifera plants are sowed). Biodynamic preparations come only from transformed material of vegetal and mineral origin. Manual harvest with multiple sorting.
Winemaking: Pneumatic pressing. Alcoholic fermentation with native yeasts in used 620 liters French oak barrels. Fermentation can last up to 6 months. Ageing on fine lees for 6 to 8 months in the same barrels. The goal is to not complete the malolactic fermentation. Fermented as dry Chenin Blanc.
