Chenin Blanc 100%
Terroir: Clay and flint and clay and limestone soils.
Wine-making: Pneumatic pressing. Temperature-controlled
alcoholic fermentation followed by 6-month ageing on fine
lees in stainless steel vats until bottling.
Tasting: A pale yellow wine with silver tinges. The nose
suggests fresh fruit aromas – apple, pear, quince – and white
flower and acacia notes. On the palate the wine is crisp,
fruity and structured by a refreshing and savory acidity.
Pairing: this wine can be served as an aperitif. It pairs
perfectly with scallops and cream and with exotic and Asian
dishes such as bo bun, Indian curry… It also pairs well with
fsweet and savoury food, like pan-fried foie gras served with
grapes or figs, or white pudding and apple compote. Goat
cheese – such as Valençay – or an apple pie will also make an elegant pairing.
Serve between 9 and 11°C and will age well for 10 to 15 years
