-
WINEMAKER: Benjamin Joliveau
-
FARMING: Certified Biodynamic since 1993
-
VARIETY: 100% Chenin Blanc
-
TERROIR: The 'Le Mont' vineyard is situated on Vouvray's Première Côte, characterized by flinty soils with green mica over a limestone base. This composition imparts intense minerality and precision to the wines.
-
VINIFICATION: Fermentation occurs with native yeasts in a combination of old oak demi-muids and stainless steel tanks; fermentation stopped naturally to retain balanced sweetness.
-
AGING: The wine is aged in a mix of large neutral oak barrels and stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and purity.
-
TASTING NOTES: The 2023 'Le Mont' Demi-Sec offers aromas of ripe pear, quince, and white flowers. On the palate, it balances vibrant acidity with subtle sweetness, showcasing flavors of honeyed apple, citrus zest, and a pronounced flinty minerality, leading to a long, elegant finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: This versatile wine pairs beautifully with dishes such as roasted pork with apples, spicy Asian cuisine, foie gras, or a selection of creamy cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
