2022 VDF ‘Les Noëls de Montbenault’ Hot on Sale

Description

2022 VDF ‘Les Noëls de Montbenault’

Thomas planted this 0.25ha plot in 2014. This lieu-dit is one of the most beautiful spots in Anjou, and the parcel sits on top of the hill. Richard Leroy (the Batardières’ next door neighbour and mentor) makes his famous wine from this site – perhaps the best Chenin in the world! The site is made up of grey and blue schist, as well as lots of rhyolite, a red volcanic rock rich in silica. Certified biodynamic. Spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts. Aged in Alsatian foudre for 11 months, then another two months in tank before bottling. Not fined or filtered. 12.5%.
