Jean Maurice RAFFAULT, Chinon Blanc 2019 (1x75cl)
100% Chenin Blanc
This very rare wine, made from Chenin Blanc grapes, represents only 2% of the total Chinon Production.
The grapes are planted mostly on chalky, limestone clay soils and a small part, on sandy alluvial soil from Loire riverbanks. To preserve the quality of the delicate grape, the leaves are taken off by hand. The manual harvest is pressed by a pneumatic pressed machine.
It is fermented at low temperatures with only native yeasts. It is a wine of true finesse, at once rich and very fresh with notes of citrus, honey and white fruits.
