Grenache Blanc, Viognier and Vermentino. 2021 is the first vintage of Bellivière's first macerated white wine, which is part of their newer "Les Arches de Bellivière" line of wines. The vines are not part of the estate but rather from a Ventoux (southern Rhône) vineyard; the Nicolas family of Bellivière has partnered with this like-minded grower, who also farms biodynamically and whose fruit goes into their "Les Arches" Raisin Migrateurs red and Astrancia rosé as well. The Nicolases harvested the three white varieties and shipped them by refrigerated truck directly to their Jasnières winery, where the bunches were destemmed, co-fermented spontaneously without sulfur in tank and macerated for 3 weeks with an occasional punchdown. The wine was tank-aged and bottled in clear glass with a small amount of sulfur and without filtration.

Region: Loire Valley

The ancient wine region of the Loire Valley in France is a perfect place to discover the country's finest examples of white wines, which are made with a highly successful blend of traditional and modern wine-making techniques. Indeed, the Loire Valley has a wine-making tradition which stretches back almost two thousand years, and today continues to be a standard bearer for fine white wines made predominantly with Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc varietal grapes. However, it also produces superb red wines from the Cabernet Franc grapes which thrive there, and plenty of excellent rosé and sparkling wines for which the region is also famous. With almost ninety controlled appellations, the Loire Valley is an extremely important region within France, and the significance of their produce cannot be overlooked.
