Prestigious Loire estate - Provenance property

Grape variety : Chenin 

Cellaring : 2024 - 2036

Tasting : A bright and clear wine with a discreet start on the nose but with an intense and concentrated fruit intermingled with a beautiful flint/rocky schist tone. Round and lush on the palate, with surprisingly floral and herbaceous aromas through to the finish, this is a linear, elegant and taut "black" Chenin with exotic flavours.  14% alcohol."

Tasting of the cuvée: This beautiful wine opens with a clear, elegant, pure and fresh bouquet, wonderfully floral as well as intensely aromatic with ripe, elegant fruit and spicy shale aromas. On the palate, this is a beautifully fruity yet elegant and seriously structured Chenin whose fruit reminds me of elderflower, ginger, apple blossom and tonic water as well as iced tea, orange zest and crushed stones. The wine is very well balanced and round and reveals a tight, lasting finish with fairly fine tannins. Just a beautiful, accessible Savennières from young vines. 

Presentation of the cuvée by the estate: "The gateway to our terroir chenins, Effusion, a name that is a nod to the volcanic rocks of its slopes, but also to moments of emotion! is our first true dry chenin cuvée, inaugurated in 2001. A blend of hillside plots on volcanic ash, sandstone conglomerates, on our schistous base of the Anjou Noir, 600 to 30 million years old. Effusion, a wine of aromatic freshness, and well structured. From aperitif to cheese, through fish and grilled white meats.

Vinification and Maturing: Direct pressing. Overnight settling at cellar temperature. Blending in vats of the batch and start on the Domaine's lees. Putting in barrels, high settling by fermentation (guillage). Spontaneous malo. Filtration on earth.
