Description
Exceptional Cuvée that we make on the Coteaux du Layon 1er Cru Chaume appellation area
- Type of wine : Mellow White, exceptional, due to over ripe grapes, and successive sorting (3-5 times). The Cuvée corresponds to the most concentrated passage of the differents selections. It is made during great vintages and when the concentration of juices justifies it.
- Grape Variety : 100% Chenin
- Soil type: The clay and slate hillsides with very shallow soil gives a very low yield. Giving richness to the wine.
- Wine making : The essential work is carried out in the vineyard, the preparation of vine-stocks (leaf thinning and removal) and during the harvesting with successive selections in the vineyard (90 at 100% of withered grains). In the cellar, a light racking takes place after a short pneumatic pressing. Each selection is vinified separately so that it develops its own characteristics.
- Taste : Golden yellow to an amber gold.
