The Caillardières grapes are harvested later; the berries are golden, producing wines with aromas of baked apple, exotic fruits, raisins and toasted almonds. That terroir gives the wine a very silky texture characteristic of these sandstone schist parcels. This wine is vinified and aged in barrels (French oak, 12 months) and reveals through natural micro-oxygenation this slightly bitter aftertaste that will give an interesting body to the wine.

Tasting note - “Elegant and pure, with mineral energy driving honey, lemon verbena and pear flavors. Shows a silky, refined palate, with nice spice and floral details bringing lift. Delivers the focused, acid-driven side of Chenin Blanc, filled out with generous flesh. Drink now through 2032.” 92 Wine Spectator (Kristen Bieler) only 7,374 bottles produced
