Notes of candied citrus fruits, white fruits—especially white peach—and fresh herbs... With a mineral and saline palate, a tight structure, and lively acidity, this is a white wine built for aging ; let it rest in your cellar for just a little while—it will work wonders!
Ingredients and nutrition facts
100% Chenin from vines aged from 10 to 24 years, farmed biodynamically and planted on a north-west facing parcel with clay-limestone soils (no flint here) over a tuffeau subsoil. “Bournais” refers to a clay soil type rich in silts in Touraine. The grapes were harvested by hand with successive sorting. Slow pressing in a pneumatic press, fermentation in demi-muids barrels with indigenous yeasts, then ageing on total lees in these same 620-litre barrels for 11 months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, with little sulphur.

Early on, Didier Dagueneau convinced him to work organically, then biodynamically: the vineyard became Demeter certified in 1999...
