Presentation
Presentation
Coming from a terroir with a great part of clay (Aubuis) over a limestone rock dating from the Turonien (Tuffeau). The « Aubuis » give to this wine the power and the Chenin’s aromas, and the « Tuffeau » rebalances it with its minerality.
Terroir
The clay-limestone vineyard is on average 30 years old and is partly renewed every year.
In the vineyard
The soil is worked at the foot of the vines and grassed in the middle of the row.
Winemaking
Gentle pressing, selection of the juices and separated vinification at 14°C with natural yeasts in stainless steel tanks. No adding sulfites before the racking, use of Bioprotections, to protect the juices.
Ageing
Maturing with its lees for 4 months in temperature-controlled vats. Bottling in spring.
