ORGANIC

Keywords : Body  / Ripe fruit / Minerality

The wine : Les Deronnières is a generous Vouvray with remarkable depth, showcasing Chenin Blanc’s luscious fruit character. Quince, pear and peach mingle with ripe citrus, while a delicate hint of hawthorn blossom adds a floral touch. On the palate, the rich, rounded texture is beautifully balanced by a freshness that carries the fruit through to the finish. An elegant mineral backbone lends definition to this expressive, refined white. A firm favourite from Domaine François et Julien Pinon!

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!
