The grapes are hand harvested, pressed in pneumatic press, fermented in stainless steel tanks and then aged for 18 months in a wooden casks. TOP TOP Chenin that will still reward us in some years to come. Super low quantities made.
Notes on the producer
Domaine aux Moines is operated by Tessa Laroche, organically, and now with biodynamic practices as well, farming under 10 hectares of Chenin Blanc. The vineyards stand next to the famed 'Coulée de Serrant' on South-West facing hillsides of predominately schist soils. Since her arrival Tessa has been improving every detail to be able to make more precise, transparent, complex wines. The results are spectacular and she is now one of the best examples of Roche-aux-Moines, and of course also Savennières.
