Made from 40–60-year-old Chenin vines, it’s aged in old barrels for a year, with full malolactic and just 40mg\/l of sulphur. Expect crisp orchard fruit, subtle herbs, and a touch of white pepper. Tense, racy, and textured — best enjoyed in a carafe when young. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNotes on the producer\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStéphane Bernaudeau grew up in the Anjou Noir, right next to the Layon, as a child he loved wandering around the river banks contemplating the fauna and flora for hours. After finishing his studies in forestry in the late 80s, he took a cash in hand job at the neighbouring Ferme de la Sansonnière, working for the newly arrived Mark Angéli.Tastings were regularly organised at the farm with pioneers like Jo Pithon,\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eRichard Leroy, Eric Calcutt and René Mosse attending. Stéphane quickly embraced the group’s countercultural approach to wine, and what was meant to be temporary became a full-time job, he worked as Mark's right-hand man for over 10 years.Creating his domaine in 2000, though still helping at La Sansonnière for years, Stéphane followed the same path, producing wines from low-yielding (average 25hh), painstakingly tended bush vines, he insists that there is nothing he loves more than being on his own among his vines, listening, observing and feeling mother nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot convinced by cabernet in the area and being a white wine lover, he simply stopped producing any reds, he currently makes three exceptional dry chenins from 3 ha and has recently bought a couple of plots in Bonnezeaux. Unfortunately, a late spring frost cut his production by three-quarters in 2016 and 2017, for that reason he resorted to buying a mobile wind turbine and strategically used it in 2019 against another severe episode, resulting in 40% loss when sadly other vignerons lost everything.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cave Bristol","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44404575731889,"sku":"1781","price":140.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0585\/2256\/6833\/files\/DSC07364.webp?v=1746701092","url":"https:\/\/www.cavebristol.co.uk\/products\/out-stephane-bernaudeau-les-onlges","provider":"Cave Bristol","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
