Les Plantagenêts Blanc

Varietal
Chenin Blanc

Notes
VINE AGE: 40 years

SOIL: The subsoil consists of tufa limestone - the same tufa limestone that was used to build the famous Loire Valley castles.

VINIFICATION: The grapes are destemmed and briefly skin-macerated before they are pneumatically pressed. They are vinified in low-temperature-controlled vats and bottled early and stored in the cellars dug out of the tufa, where it continues to age in the bottle,

TASTING NOTES: Brightly yellow colored with tinges of green. Aromas of citrus fruit – lemon and grapefruit – with touches of exotic fruit. It starts off fresh and fruity and becomes full and round on the palate.
