The wine : Les Deronnières is certainly the most beautiful plot of the Pinon estate. South-facing on a limestone terroir, it produces here a great Loire Chenin with lovely substance as well as an elegant mineral structure. Quince, pear, ripe citrus, hawthorn, and peach aromas make up the aromatic profile of this little gem that you can enjoy with your eyes closed. A real favorite !

The estate : Reigning over 15 hectares of Chenin certified organic since the 2003 vintage, the Pinon family comes from a long winegrowing 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 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!
