Domaine François et Julien Pinon - Vouvray demi-sec - Silex noir 2023

ORGANIC

Keywords :  Indulgent / Mineral / Exotic

The wine : What a treat this demi-sec Chenin  is! The Silex noir cuvée delicately perfumes the palate thanks to its exotic notes  of mango, quince paste, pear, and candied peach. The whole is rich but extremely well balanced thanks to a beautiful mineral tension. Total addiction for this great indulgent Vouvray which will pair wonderfully with foie gras, spicy cuisine, or pan-seared scallops!

The estate : Ruling over 15 hectares of Chenin certified organic since the 2003 vintage, the Pinon family comes from a long winemaking tradition, as their connection to the vine dates 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 slats, 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!
