Wine made from organically or biodynamically grown grapes with minimal intervention avoiding the use of chemicals, additives and technology.
A generous white wine that comes from 50 year old Menu Pineau vines planted on clay-silex based soils. Hand-harvested then directly pressed. The wine’s spontaneous fermentation lasts between 15 days and 1 month and remains on the lees the entire time with no temperature control. Aged for 30 months in old barrique; unfiltered.
There’s a lot to remember when it comes to the Loire. Novices, take note: Cabernet Franc is a great alternative to Cabernet Sauvignon, Muscadet is unparalleled as a companion to shellfish, and Cour Cheverny is the best white wine appellation you’ve never heard of. As diverse as Loire wines are, one day soon you'll know your Melon de Bourgogne from your Romorantin.
