LES CHENES 2021

Region: France Loire

Grape: Sauvignon Blanc

Category:White

This is a natural SB for Sauvignon Blanc lovers!

It has a slightly cloudy appearance and is full of flavor similar to grated apple. The acidity and minerality underpin the ripe fruit.
Lime, salty taste derived from Silex, and a bitter aftertaste. While it has a very natural feel, the uniqueness of the variety and production area shines through!

In 2021, hail damage in April was significant.
It is absolutely necessary to supplement with grapes from other places...
However, this is where the many relationships he cultivated as an importer.
We were given some wonderful grapes from Bordeaux!
(4ha plot of bio cultivation since 2016)
We were able to release it while maintaining the elegance that we had originally aimed for.

[Producer information]

Chinon’s talented winemaker x Belgian natural wine pioneer

Pioneer natural wine importer @Philippe in Belgium. Nicola from Chinon is a family-run business that makes natural wine.
The two acquired land together and founded the company in 2012.

What the duo is pursuing is a mineral feel that balances freshness, concentration, and richness. I want to make a salty, mineral-rich wine that comes from AZAY LE RIDEAU's clay and Silex!

You can enjoy it with food and drink it right away.
I also want to create wine that can be aged for a long time and whose complex flavors are brought out over time!
These are selfish (?) wishes, but they have all come true!
Hats off to their ability to reflect the flavor they want to create without wavering!
It's hard to find someone who doesn't like this classic, clean and natural wine.

I want to liven up AOC Touraine Azay Le Rideau!

Only permitted for rosé (70% Grollo or higher) and white (100% Chenin), this unassuming (sorry!) appellation is in the shadows compared to other Loire producing regions.
We believe in the potential of this place and want to shine a spotlight on it! The two of them are excited.
Currently, the 16ha field is mainly Chenin Blanc and Cabernet Franc.
They also plant Grollo, Gamay, Cot, and Sauvignon Blanc, and are working on innovative winemaking.

The field, which was already bio-cultivated, was further sublimated.
The field we purchased in 2012 was already in its third year of bio cultivation.
Although the field and land had potential, the condition of the vines was not very good.
The two eliminate the clones that were already there. Thorough replanting of Selection Masaru.
We started biodynamics in 2018 and achieved certification in 2022!
