Le Fief Noir Anjou "Contact" orange 2022

Technical sheet written by the domaine:

Grape variety : 100% Chenin

Soil : sand and gravel on schist

Age of the vines : 40 years

Farming: simple guyot pruning, bud thinning followed by leaf removal in spring. Soil and mound work in all rows. This tillage promotes deep rooting of the vine, allowing it to better withstand excesses and shortages of water.

Harvest : manual in ventilated crates of 12 kg. We perform a negative sorting a few days before the harvest, leaving only perfectly healthy bunches. The vine then fully concentrates its energy on the still-standing harvest.

Winemaking : One month maceration with whole berries. Fermentation in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. Malolactic fermentation. Aging in amphora for 6 months.

Tasting : Intense notes of orange peel, full and powerful palate, persistent finish with citrus notes.

Culinary pairings : Duck à l'orange, Venison tartare, Vegetable curry, Scallops with orange caramel, Salers…
