AOC Vouvray Sec 'La Grande Grive' 2018

Product description

Tasting Notes
This special wine is made from 100% chenin, from vineyards aged 60 to 80, conducted in organic farming. It is a blend of 3 plots on clay-limestone terroirs of the first coast (Premières Cotes). The low yields of 25 hL /Ha give the wine its intense flavours. 
Manual harvest. Long alcoholic fermentation of 6 months by the indigenous yeasts, matured in barrels aged 1 to 3 years, at the natural temperature of cellars which are carved into the tufa rock (limestone).
The wine is then racked and then remains in barrels on its fine lees all summer before being 
bottled in September.
Nice aromas of pears and yellow fruits and candied zest, a woody note, carried in the mouth by a pleasant freshness. Serve at around 14°C.

About the Wine Maker
Tanguy Perrault and Anne-Cécile Jadaud started their domain in 2008, which was then only 0.5 Ha in size. In the meantime, beautiful plots with old vines on flint soil have been purchased and an impressive range of pure wines is made. Interesting is the use of old wooden barrels. Here lutte raisonnée is applied, with respect for the vineyards and the grapes are made here very pure, almost natural wine.
