    The wine

    This pure Chenin comes from 15-year-old vines grown organically and biodynamically in soils of flint, gravel and chalk. After a low-temperature fermentation and a maturation on lees in vats, the wine, which can be aged for over ten years, reveals a complex aromatic bouquet of honey, apple, fruit, white flowers, and quince. Whilst flavourful and well-structured, the palate is balanced by a lively minerality.
