Vin de France Pur Chenin Le Clos de la Barthassade 2021

Hélène and Guillaume lovingly craft a 100% Chenin cuvée from grapes sourced in the Terrasses du Larzac appellation. Monovarietal Chenin wines are not authorised in the appellation. As a result, the couple produce their cuvée as a Vin de France. The estate follows organic farming practices to preserve the harmonious and essential balance between humans and vines. The harvest is entirely undertaken manually, to preserve the quality of the raw material. Once in the winery, the grapes ferment naturally in wood. Lastly, the cuvée is aged in barrels and demi-muids (big barrels) for eighteen months and bottled without fining or filtration.
The pale bright colour reveals an exquisite bouquet, characterised by ripe pear and melon aromas combined with a subtle touch of hazelnuts. The crunchy full-bodied palate delicately leads to a delicious and lively finish.
