An intense and tangy style bursting with acid-drive and energy. The 2020 Clos le Grand Beaureau was fermented in 500-litrer barrels (2/3rds) and (1/3rd) in amphora. Due to the sandy soils on top of schist, it's a light to mid-weight style that floats along the palate, yet has an unrelenting power. Expect pear, apple and even a note of white pepper. ...

Winery
We are located here at the top of the hill of Epiré, the highest point of the appellation, at the foot of the Moulin de Beaupréau. We are therefore on a well-ventilated terroir. The subsoil is made up of brittle schist with a vertical counterpart allowing deep rooting. The soil, 30 to 50cm deep, is made up of aeolian sands, sands brought up by the wind at the top of the hillsides. We talk a lot about the schists of Savennières but the influence of the sandy soils is also very important on a lot of the terroir. These sandy and schist soils as well as the proximity of the river, at the foot of the slopes, give the vines a very early ripening period. Ripening progresses very quickly and the skins are quickly refined. On this terroir, we are looking for wines with a fine and airy texture.

green grapes

Varietal: Chenin Blanc

The green skinned grapes of the Chenin Blanc varietal are used for a wide range of different wines. In their native home of France, they are used for the production of some excellent sparkling crémants, or allowed to develop noble rot, which intensifies their natural sweetness and produces some unusual and intense flavors In most countries around the world, though, Chenin Blanc grapes are used for the production of high quality still white wines, which have the ability to express the finer features of the terroir they are grown on. Many winemakers like to age their Chenin Blanc wines in oak or chestnut barrels, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the wines. These grapes thrive best in heavy clay soils, and ripen late in the season, when their natural flavors can come through fully.

Region: Loire Valley

Despite being most closely associated with fine white wines made with the excellent Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc varietal grapes which thrive there, the region of the Loire Valley in France also produces several other quality wines. The sub-region of Chinon is highly esteemed for its excellent Cabernet Franc based red wines, packed full of unique character and excellent fruity flavors, and the sparkling crémant wines of the region are adored by people all over the world. The region benefits enormously from the fertile valley it sits in, and the oceanic breezes which blow over the area, cooling the vines and helping them reach full and balanced levels of ripeness. The Loire Valley is an ancient wine region, with a viticultural history which stretches back two thousand years and is stronger than ever today.
