Presentation
Location
This terroir is located on the hillsides of the communes of Pouancay, Berrie and St Léger de Montbrillais.
Terroir
This terroir is dominated by Turonian limestone from the secondary era.
In the vineyard
The selected vines have naturally low yields, with a few small bunches per vine, very golden at harvest time.
Harvest
Harvesting at the end of October, when the grapes have reached the beginning of over-ripeness.
Vinification
Delicate pneumatic pressing and careful settling. Vinification with temperature control (17 to 19°C) to preserve the aromatic potential of the Chenin Blanc.
Ageing
Maturing on lees for 6 to 7 months brings fatness and complexity.
Varietal
Chenin blanc : 100%
