Tasting Notes
This sparkling Chenin Blanc has a pale yellow hue with fine, persistent bubbles. The nose offers attractive aromas of brioche, green apple, linden (tilleul) blossom, and a hint of flint. On the palate, it is fresh and mineral-driven, with crisp acidity and a persistent, clean finish .
Producer
Fourth generation Gilles took over the family domaine in 1993.
Composed of 50 separate small parcels of vineyard, the estate is planted on limestone-clay soils spread over 27ha. Still aided by his father Sylvain, Gilles Gaudron produces top quality, traditional Vouvrays with pure a fruit character and a striking expression of terroir.
Production
Third generation Gilles took over the family Domaine in 1993, which is composed of 50 little parcels of vineyards planted on limestone-clay soils spread over 24 hectares. Produced from a blend of 5 to 25 year old Chenin vines. Gently pressed pneumatically, the juice is decanted for up to 24 hours. After a month of cool fermentation (peaking at around 16 °C) using indigenous yeasts, the base wine is bottled and undergoes a traditional second fermentation in the bottle. It then matures on the lees for a minimum of 18 months, followed by riddling and disgorgement. The wine is then matured in bottle for a further 3 months before release.
