Chenin Blanc
Les Turbulents 2022
Puechavy

Grape Variety: Chenin Blanc

Producer: Thomas Puéchavy

Region: Vouvray Loire, France

Wild Scale: 3/5

Vegan friendly wine

Winemaking: Organic Chenin Blanc grapes were hand harvested and underwent direct press into fibreglass for fermentation with indigenous yeast. Bottled before this process was complete in order to trap fizz inside the bottle (Ancestral winemaking technique - Pet Nat) Aged on the lees for 2 years. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.  

This Wine: Sparkling white wine full of finesse. Delicate floral notes with sweet lemon and crisp apple. A classy Pet Nat that can work as an aperitif or with a light food dish. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Thomas Puéchavy farms just 3 hectares of vines that are mainly planted over limestone soils in the Vouvray region of the Loire. This area is famous for off-dry and sweet wines made from Chenin Blanc. Whilst Thomas does produce these styles, it's his dry, acid driven expressions that really shine and will be celebrated by fans of this noble grape variety.
