-
WINEMAKER: Arnaud Lambert
-
FARMING: Certified Organic
-
VARIETY: 75% Chenin Blanc, 25% Chardonnay
-
TERROIR: Sourced from the Clos du Château vineyard in Brézé, featuring silty sand and clay soils over Turonian limestone bedrock. The cool climate and chalky soils contribute to the wine's tension and minerality.
-
VINIFICATION: Hand-harvested grapes undergo indigenous yeast fermentation. The wine is produced using the traditional method, with secondary fermentation in the bottle.
-
AGING: Aged for 24 months on lees (sur lattes) before disgorgement. Malolactic fermentation is blocked to preserve acidity. Dosage is 8 g/L.
-
TASTING NOTES: Fresh aromas of green apple, quince, and citrus zest, complemented by toasty and bread dough notes. The palate is crisp and fruit-forward, with a fine mousse and a long, elegant finish.
-
FOOD PAIRINGS: Ideal as an aperitif or paired with seafood, fried dishes, and soft cheeses.
