Anjou Blac Pierres Girard

Varietal
Chenin Blanc

Notes
VINEYARD: Tufa soil over striations of schist with southeast exposure

VINIFICATION: Grapes are harvested manually over three passes. Grapes are pressed very slowly (8 hours) in order to extract the entire potential aroma. Fermentation takes place in 400L barrique (2-5 years old; none new), then the wine is left on its fine lees before being bottled one year after harvest.

TASTING NOTES: Intense golden color. Expressive to the nose, even dense, dominant floral aroma (lime blossom, fern) Very stunning mouthfeel, beautiful aromatic continuity. Full-bodied dominated by dried fruits (almonds) in particular. Its persistence is supported by a tactile tannin sensation.
