Large Soif! Blanc

VARIETALS
80% Chenin Blanc, 20% Chardonnay

NOTES
VINEYARD: The vineyard, with a surface area of about thirty hectares, is located in the part of the Anjou Noir region of the Loire Valley, south of Angers. Unlike the Saumur region known as the white Anjou and characterized by its limestone soils which correspond to the Parisian basin, the Anjou noir with its dark soil is a complex mix of schists, quartz and volcanic rocks ideally suited to viticulture.

VINIFICATION: Fermentation and maturing on fine lees for 14 months in stainless steel vats.

TASTING NOTES: Chenin blended with Chardonnay (to add fruit and weight), is richly textured yet lively.
