Chenin Blanc
Les Pouches 2021
Saint-Lô

Grape Variety: Chenin Blanc

Producer: François Saint-Lô

Region: Berrie, Loire, France

Wild Scale: 4/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Chenin Blanc grapes were harvested by hand and directly pressed. Fermentation with indigenous yeast and aged in old barrels for 2 years. Bottled with no fining, filtration or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural white wine with a medium to full body. Full of complexity and depth with a wild edge. Rich and ripe with citrus, stone fruit, hebrs and minerals. Now a cult wine for Chenin lovers and natural wine heads in general, we just heard the sad news that 2024 will be the last vintage from this vineyard. So you better get it whilst you can!

Notes on the Winemaker: Francois is part of a collective in a small village called Berrie (not far from Saumur) who have looked to restore buildings in their hometown and breathe new life into the surroundings by creating a community of natural winemakers. He is uncompromising in his approach to the craft and avoids using sulphur at any stage as he believes it limits the potential of his wines.
