Technical Sheet written by the domaine

Location : Parnay   

Terroir : Clay-limestone, 30 cm of clayey sand before reaching the so-called Senonian limestone. 
 
Average age of the vines : 80 years
 
Grape variety : 100% Chenin
 
Vineyard work : Vines worked in collaboration with Eric Charruau (the owner)   
Organic farming.
 
Vinification : Manual harvest. Alcoholic fermentation in 1-year-old 600-liter barrels. Pneumatic pressing for 4 hours, natural degrees of 12.9°, fermentation duration of 3 months. Aging on fine lees for 8-9 months. All these operations are carried out at low temperatures in an underground cellar to preserve the fruit of the wine.
 
Tasting comment : The color is a straw yellow, almost crystalline; clear; luminous and bright. The first nose combines concentration, freshness, generosity, and power. The second nose reveals a multitude of fruity, floral, and vegetal aromas.   
On the palate, the attack is straight and velvety, and sensuality intertwines, suggesting the full potential of a great terroir. The acidity is present, without ostentation, outlining the contours of the material that guarantees the aromatic identity of the flavors.
