« Les Amandiers » CHENIN BLANC |
 |
| THE GRAPE VARIETY |
Chenin 100%
Young vines planted in 1991
Yield 35 to 40 hl per hectare depending on the year
|
| THE SOIL |
Limestone, typical of this part of the Saumur area,
which retains moisture and allows hydration during the
vegetal cycle of the plant.
|
| VINIFICATION |
Manual harvest, selection of the ripest grapes, very
slow pressing. Fermentation with natural yeast, in oak
vats but for only part of the must.
Matured on fine lies with the natural carbonic gas (carbon
dioxide) until bottling. The storage is in our huge “tuffeau”
caves in concrete ovoid tanks.
|
| DEGUSTATION / TASTING |
This white wine reflects one expression of the Chenin,
dry but round and well balanced.
