Origin
Produced in the Loire Valley, France, within the Vouvray appellation known for its exceptional Chenin Blanc wines. The vineyards are located on clay-rich soils, which influence the wine's character.
Variety
100% Chenin Blanc grape variety, a versatile and expressive white grape native to the Loire Valley.
Production
The grapes are hand-harvested and vinified with careful attention to preserve the purity and freshness of the Chenin Blanc. Fermentation typically occurs in stainless steel tanks to maintain crispness, followed by aging on fine lees to add texture and complexity.
