- TASTING NOTE: "A pulpy, slightly oxidative style. Crunchy acidity, citrus, bruised apple and pear and a lick of phenolic spice and grip. A great example of old school Vouvray here!" David Gillman, HWS
- ABOUT THE PRODUCER: This estate is approximately 22 hectares on clay and limestone soils, located in the village of Vernou-sur-Brenne. Damien and his wife Ingrid took over the estate from Damien’s father a decade ago. The vines are around 25 to 25 years of age, although there are some small plots which are much older. Yields for the still wines are around 45hl/h and a little bit more for the bubbles. There has been a gradual shift towards organic viticulture over the years, and the duo are currently in the process of seeking certification. Fermentation occurs naturally with indigenous yeasts and there is weekly stirring of the lees. Everything else is very hands-off.
