Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry
A single-variety Chenin Blanc from the domaine's clay-limestone and flint soils at Vix, bottled as Vin de France rather than under the Fiefs Vendéens AOC. Vinified with a light hand in the cellar, it is generous on the attack and keeps unfolding, closing on the fine, subtle length that marks good Loire Chenin — quince and yellow orchard fruit carried on a firm line of acidity. A more serious wine than its plain appellation suggests.
