Once again, a success — no surprise, it’s signed Chidaine! A sparkling Chenin all about elegance and finesse, with a precise nose of white flowers, citrus and crisp apple. On the palate: fine, delicate bitters give structure, with lovely minerality and generous effervescence.
Chenin from vines aged from 10 to 50 years, farmed biodynamically and planted on a selection of parcels with clay soils rich in coarse flint particles and a Tuffeau subsoil. The grapes were harvested by hand with successive sorting. Direct pressing of the whole clusters in a pneumatic press, fermentation in 620-litre demi-muids barrels, then bottled in May 2023. Aged in bottles, on laths, in the domaine’s cellars for 23 months. Disgorged in February 2025, without any dosage. A brut nature sparkling wine with less than 2 g/L residual sugar.
