Variety Chenin Blanc 100%
Appelation Vouvray
Vineyard red-clay, in Rochecorbon.
Alcohol 12.4%
Acidity 4,85
Residual sugar 6g/l
Vinification: Alcoholic fermented in oak barrels for 7 months. We use natural corks only. Vineyards are located in Rochecorbon and surround the infamous « La Lanterne » site which overhangs the Loire river and the Loire Valley. The river invigorates the vineyard and the red-clay soil brings deepness and complexity to this particular series not to mention that Chenin Blanc’s natural acidity allows this series to evolve for decades, a series whose vintages are considered young for a decade after their bottling. The smelling will unleash aromas of honey and dried fruits and the tasting itself will prove to be tender and mineral at once with a very nice length.
Wine pairing: As a pre-dinner drink with snacks "dînatoire" with clams, scallop Carpaccio in lime juice, or avocado crab. During a meal with seafood; Dublin Bay prawn, marinated fish, salmon, sea-bass, red mullet ... Classics: pan-fried sole, grilled turbot.
Press selection
Vitinéraires: "Nose with buttery and vanilla scents which are signs of an oak barrel fermentation which does not mask the fruit. Freshness and fat balance this long wine which has a very pleasant final freshness."
WineSpectator 91/100 – “A delicious, pure unadorned core of pear”
