Domaine François et Julien Pinon - Vouvray Brut 2020

ORGANIC

Keywords : Fruity / Indulgent / Mineral / Complex

The wine : Discover this magnificent indulgent Vouvray Brut and complex with a very fine bubble ! Vinified using the traditional method with grapes of exemplary ripeness, Julien Pinon lets the bottles rest in the cellar for nearly three yearsbefore putting them on sale. This particularly long and rare resting period for the Vouvray appellation allows for the creation of great aromatic complexity. The result is a cuvée expressing beautiful ripe and expressive fruits (peach, pear, apple, citrus), a fine mineral tension as well as very lovely notes of honey, hazelnut and toasted bread. Bubbles of the highest quality that impress!

The estate : Reigning over 15 hectares of Chenin certified organic since the 2003 vintage, the Pinon family comes from a long winegrowing tradition, with their connection to the vine dating back to 1786! Julien represents the 8th generation and is now at the head of this benchmark estate in Vouvray. The estate's plots have varied exposures and a large part of the vines are over 40 years old. The whites are vinified in oak barrels on fine lees for 4 to 5 months, while the sparkling wines undergo long aging on laths, allowing for the production of very high-quality cuvées. Intervention is kept to a minimum at every stage of production to remain as close as possible to the terroir. A family offering delicious Chenins that you will love!
