Terroir:
The vineyards are located in the Haute Vallée de l'Aude, nestled in the foothills of the Pyrenees in the Languedoc-Roussillon region. The area benefits from a warm climate combined with high altitude, which allows for slow and even ripening of the grapes. The soils are primarily limestone, contributing to the wine’s balanced acidity and mineral character.
Viticulture:
The Chenin Blanc grapes are hand-picked to ensure optimal quality. Sustainable viticulture practices are employed to maintain the health of the vineyard and produce high-quality fruit.
Winemaking:
The winemaking process involves temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel vats to preserve the fresh fruit character of the Chenin Blanc. The wine is then aged on its lees for an extended period to develop a smooth texture and is partially aged in oak barrels to add complexity and richness.
Tasting Notes:
"Les Volets Chenin Blanc" features lovely aromas of peach, citrus, brioche, and hazelnut. On the palate, it is creamy and textural with flavors of citrus, butter, and a hint of jasmine. The finish is luscious and well-balanced with refreshing acidity.
