More about this wine

Terroir: Cultivated on ancient tuffeau (limestone) and clay slopes typical of the Vallée Coquette in Vouvray.

Sourcing: The "Le C" cuvée is crafted from a selective blend of estate-grown grapes harvested across multiple parcels rather than a single plot.

Harvest: 100% manual picking to ensure strict sorting and preserve fruit integrity.

Tasting notes

Eye
Shows a lovely golden hue.
Nose
Opens with ripe stone fruit, yellow pear, and honeysuckle. Prolonged time in the estate's damp tuffeau caves lends a distinct, complex nutty and mineral undercurrent.
Palate
Fleshy and round, expertly treading the line between subtle residual sweetness and Chenin Blanc’s signature vibrant, crisp acidity.

Pairing
Highly versatile due to its off-dry balance. It pairs exceptionally well with rich charcuterie, soft blue cheeses, white meats in creamy sauces, and is particularly brilliant alongside moderately spicy Asian cuisine.
