The colour is a bright straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose is fine and elegant, revealing aromas of yellow fruits — peach, apricot, and exotic fruits. The palate is smooth and harmonious, with notes of candied fruit. Fresh and long on the finish, this wine is beautifully balanced and remarkably subtle.

L’ASTUCE DU VIGNERON Conseils de dégustation : L’ASTUCE DU VIGNERON

For sweet wines, aeration is essential — and ideally done well in advance (while keeping the wine cool) to allow the full complexity of its aromas to unfold.

L’ASPECT TECHNIQUE Vendanges, vinification et élevage : L’ASPECT TECHNIQUE

Hand-harvested through successive selections, the grapes are about 80% affected by noble rot. At harvest, they contain around 290 g of natural sugar per litre. The pneumatic pressing is very gentle and lasts 3 to 4 hours. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in tanks at a natural temperature of 19 to 22°C. The wine is aged on fine lees in tanks to preserve the pure expression of Chenin.

Histoire
LE DÉBUT D’ UNE AVENTURE Histoire : LE DÉBUT D’ UNE AVENTURE

This cuvée was born in 1995, with the oldest vines dating back to 1921. After the poor vintage of 1994, we decided to hand-thin and leaf-strip the “sunrise” side of the vines. This operation, carried out in July, aimed to prevent grape bunch overcrowding and promote better air circulation within the canopy.
