Chenin Blanc Pétillant Naturel, Vin de France, France 2024","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eCatherine and Pierre Breton farm 11 hectares in the village of Restigné, east of Bourgueil, producing Chinon, Bourgueil, and Vouvray under their own name since the 1970s. They received organic certification in 1991 and have been in biodynamic conversion, becoming internationally recognized figures of the natural wine movement in a region where organic viticulture is notoriously difficult. Their two children, France and Paul, have taken over the domaine. Paul, who set up his own cellar in Vouvray, conceived this pétillant naturel as his own project — a festive, zero-intervention sparkling Chenin grown in the Vouvray appellation and bottled as Vin de France. The label art is by cartoonist Michel Tolmer, a frequent collaborator of the domaine.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWINEMAKER:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paul Breton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFARMING:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified Organic.
