Touraine | Blanc | 2022

This wine is the result of meticulous winemaking, using whole clusters pressed for three hours to subtly extract the aromas. Settling takes place over a period of 12 to 24 hours, followed by fermentation with indigenous yeasts in concrete tanks. Aging on fine lees in tanks and 600-liter barrels gives the wine a complexity and finesse that highlight the unique terroir of flinty clay and clay-limestone.

Our Review of the Cuvée

Upon first tasting this wine, the nose is greeted by delicate, floral aromas typical of Chenin. On the palate, the sensation is both fresh and round, thanks to aging on the lees, which adds depth and a silky texture. The unique terroir of flinty clay and clay-limestone confers a balanced minerality that harmonizes with the wine’s fruity nuances. The finish is lingering and elegant, revealing a subtle blend of liveliness and smoothness. This wine is a true expression of its biodynamic terroir, offering an authentic and refined experience.

He produces red, white, and rosé wines under the Touraine appellation, using natural winemaking methods with indigenous yeasts and minimal intervention. Certain vintages, such as the Sauvignon or the Gamay “Sans Tralala,” showcase the distinctive aromas and freshness of their terroirs.
