- WINEMAKER: Arnaud Lambert
- FARMING: Certified organic
- VARIETY: 100% Chenin Blanc
-
TERROIR: Sourced from the 'Clos de Midi' vineyard on the Brézé hill, characterized by silty-sandy-clay topsoil over soft Turonian limestone (tuffeau). The southeast-facing slopes provide optimal sun exposure, contributing to the wine's freshness and minerality.
-
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes are whole-cluster pressed and fermented with native yeasts. Fermentation occurs over 2-3 weeks, with spontaneous and partial malolactic conversion (0-30%).
- AGING: Aged for 9 months, with 70% in stainless steel tanks and 30% in concrete eggs, to preserve purity and enhance texture. The wine is lightly filtered before bottling.
- TASTING NOTES: Aromas of green apple, citrus, and white flowers lead to a palate that is crisp and mineral-driven, showcasing flavors of lemon zest, pear, and a hint of salinity. The finish is long and refreshing, with vibrant acidity and a subtle creaminess.
- FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal with seafood dishes, light salads, or as an aperitif. Its bright acidity and minerality also complement creamy cheeses and charcuterie.
