Pierre Chainier “Clos de Nouys” Demi Sec 2017

100% Chenin Blanc. A fine example of Domaine-produced Vouvray, from 27ha of chalky clay situated in the environs of Tours. Lutte raisonnée farming. Hand-picked, very ripe Chenin Blanc (35hl/ha) from chalk and clay soils, slow pneumatic pressing with wild yeast, fermented at 14-17°C, transferred to two year-old French oak barrels. This wine undergoes extended lees contact and is bottled after eight months in barrel. Typically ‘wet wool’ Chenin (that’s positive!). Medium, classic Vourvray with good depth of fruit and length.
