Le Fief Noir "Ô Temps Suspends Ton Vol" pet nat 100% chenin extra brut white 2024

Grape Variety : 100% Chenin

Soil : Sand and gravel on schist

Age of Vines : 30 years

Farming : We place great importance on respecting the plant that gives us grapes. This is reflected in the special attention we pay to the sap flow within each vine. We practice gentle pruning and green work to limit trauma related to cuts that create obstacles to the flow. We adapt the leaf removal practice to the vintage so that the grapes benefit from morning sunlight. The soils are worked under the vine, and grass cover is controlled in the inter-row.
The vine rewards us a hundredfold for this attention by producing concentrated grapes with complete and homogeneous ripeness.

Harvest : Manual in ventilated 200 kg boxes.

Winemaking : Direct pressing with a pneumatic press and juice separation. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts.
Bottling at the end of fermentation with residual sugars. Secondary fermentation of 4 to 6 months on lees, followed by riddling and disgorgement. Extra-brut.

Tasting : Pale yellow color with green reflections. A fresh and fruity nose with notes of fresh apples, white Williams pears, and brioche. The palate combines roundness and freshness. The bubbles are delicate, allowing the freshness and nobility of the chenin to express itself.

Culinary Pairings : Vol-au-vent of sweetbreads, White chocolate merveilleux, cherry clafoutis…
