From 8-15 year old vines on very stony Eocene terroir (80-90% flint/quartz surface)
Specifications
| Vinification | Fermentation and aging takes place in oak barrels for 13 months. The winemakers use indigenous yeasts, and use no added sulfites when bottling. This wine is unfiltered. |
| Vineyard Soil | This terroir from the Eocene (tertiary era) is based on a bedrock of "perrons" or flint nodules and clay . The soil is composed of sandy loam with 80-90% flint and quartz on the surface and 40% on average in the subsoil. This excessively stony terroir combined with drying ventilation is ideal for the Coteaux du Loir white wines harvested from young vines. |
| Harvest | Harvested manually in mid-October into boxes. |
| Tasting Notes | Very fresh and pleasant to drink; blossom and peach aromas dominate, complemented by a distinct minerality and fresh woodsy notes. This wine is round and creamy on the palate. |
| Food Pairings | Goes well with aromatic dishes such as risotto, or desserts made with exotic fruit. |
