Chenin Blanc

One of five growers making Pétillant Originel – a rare appellation that mandates low yields and zero modern intervention. Made from Chenin Blanc vines that are over 40 years old.

From 100% of chenin blanc grape variety, parcels of land selection. You can smell pine apples, grapefruits and fresh cream aromas. This wine has a very dense palate with a lot of minerality with a touch of honey flavour.

This Loire white comes from 45-year-old Chenin Blanc vines grown in clay, limestone and flint soils. After harvest, the juice is pressed immediately and aged in neutral wooden barrels for eleven months.

Huet makes damn fine Chenin Blanc. In fact, wine writers have called it THE best. Gaston Huet believes the Clos du Bourg is the greatest of Vouvray due to the shallowest, stoniest soils, which intensify the minerality and generous texture of this wine.

Fabien Duveau likes to say he was born on a barrel. He represents the 8th generation of his family to make wine, so it is safe to say that is in his blood. Possibly the only single parcel Chenin from Poyeux, the limestone soil is evident on the palate.

A mouthful of wine. Full bodied, over ripe russet apples & mature pears give way to beeswax, cardamom & ginger.
