Varietal
Chenin Blanc

Notes
VINEYARD: Matthieu has one parcel of Chenin Blanc planted in the “La Cote” area of Saumur. Located 8 kilometers south of Breze and right next to the Loire River, “La Cote” allows Chenin Blanc to develop gorgeous depths of flavor as its terroir of nutrient rich red clay, sand stone and limestone. This singular parcel in Parnay is a mere .15 hectare of vines planted in 1999.

VINIFICATION: Fruit is hand-harvested and aged for 15 months in a combination of oak (12 months) and steel (3 months).
