  • Size: 8.0 ha (19.76 ac)
  • Vine Age: Planted between 1985 and 2017
  • Terroir: From Brézé, south and east-facing, 70 cm deep silty-sandy-clay topsoil on softer Turonian limestone rock.
  • Viticulture: Organic (certified), average yields of 45 hL/ha.
  • Vinification: Pressed with whole clusters, fermented with a cultured yeast from the vineyard, 2-3-week fermentation and aging for 9 months, 70% in steel tank and 30% in concrete eggs, spontaneous and partial malolactic conversion (0-30%), SO2 added after malolactic conversion and before bottling (50-70 ppm total), filtered, stored in bottles for 3-9 months before release.

 

  • Aromas: Bursting with intense notes of quince, fresh pear, lime juice, white flowers, and a subtle hint of ginger and smoky minerality.

 

  • Palate: Lean, structured, and bone-dry. It is characterized by ripping, chalky acidity balanced by a light, slick textural weight typical of Chenin Blanc.

 

  • Finish: Crisp, focused, and strongly driven by sea salt and flint-like minerality.
