This Chenin value comes from 100% hand-harvested fruit, organically grown in the schist-rich, volcanic soils of Rochefort-sur-Loire, just south of the river and opposite Savennières. The wine was vinified in a mixture of tank and two- to four-year-old 400-litre casks. It’s another generous release with plenty of ripe orchard fruits, summer florals and lanolin notes set against a backdrop of fresh ozone. It’s invigoratingly dry, fleshy and tangy on the palate, with white peach, pear, spicy weight and a puckering wash of bitter grapefruit on the finish. Young and vibrant, it will gain more depth and detail over the coming months.
