Winemaking: Organic Chenin Blanc grapes were hand harvested and underwent direct press. Fermentation with indigenous yeast. Aged for 12 months in old oak barrels. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.  

This Wine: Natural white wine with a medium body. This is a classy Chenin with salty citrus peel, fresh minerals  and perfumed aromatics. Weighty on the palate but at the same time, full of finesse. Chenin at its best. Serve with food. 

Notes on the Winemaker: Based in little know region of Montlouis-sur-Loire, Vincent Bergeron quietly farms 3.4 hectares of Chenin and Pinot Noir vines across the local flint and tuffeau soils. Having honed his craft alongside natural wine stalwarts like Frantz Saumon and Stéphane Cossais, Vincent works organically in the vineyard, and by by hand, nurturing deep root systems to tap directly into the underlying limestone. In the cellar, his philosophy is strictly non-interventionist: slow, spontaneous fermentations with native yeast, long aging in old neutral barrels, and no fining, filtration or added sulphur. The wines are pure, electric, and textured, defined by a searing mineral line, subtle reduction, and exceptional tension that captures Montlouis in its most authentic form.
