WINE DETAILS
100% Chenin Blanc planted on schist and sandstone in a single vineyard in Anjou, hand-harvested, fermented with native yeast, and aged in vats on the lees for 11 months, before getting bottled unfiltered with just a touch of sulfur. Full-bodied, but balanced with ripe yellow fruit, fresh citrus, and smokey minerality. Really delicious.
Thomas Boutin
Thomas Boutin started his own winemaking project in 2008, with only 1.8 hectares. In 2011, he inherited a compact winery and vines from his mentor and has progressively built up the number of hectares. He farms 2 hectares in Rochefort-sur-Loire and 1 hectare in Saint Aubin. He is evolving as a winemaker, and experiments whilst learning and finding his style.
Having studied enology and worked in larger wineries, he is passionate to keep the approach small-scale with minimal intervention. All wines are made without any use of chemicals, are unfined and unfiltered, and little use of sulfur.
