Keywords  :  Fruity / Pleasant / Elegant

The wine  : Yes indeed, the Chinon appellation can make white wines! And it would be stupid to neglect this beautiful vintage from the Gasnier family...Made from young vines, this 100% Chenin offers elegance, minerality and deliciousness. Citrus notes mix harmoniously with aromas of pear, peach and white flowers and the palate is fluid but with a slight and pleasant roundness. A terroir vintage made with brilliance and which will be ideally appreciated as an aperitif but also with grilled fish, terrines, goat cheeses and seafood. A great pleasure and an excellent value for money !

The estate: Located in Cravant-les-Côteaux, in the heart of one of the most beautiful terroirs of the Chinon appellation, Fabrice Gasnier has been at the head of the estate that has belonged to his family since the beginning of the 20th century since 1990. Covering 35 hectares of clay-limestone, siliceous and gravel soils, all of the vintages have been certified in Biodynamic Agriculture (Demeter) since 2008. More than 90% of the production is dedicated to reds with the sole grape variety being Cabernet Franc. The harvest is manual and the vinification is mainly carried out in concrete vats with some aging in oak barrels. The purity and depth of the fruit of the family's wines prove the impeccable management of the estate's vines, producing extremely healthy grapes.
