Anjou Blanc 'Les Faraunières', 2020

From vines planted about a hundred years ago on a seam of coal in the Loire. A dry Chenin with real weight that still finishes salty and sharp.

Dry Chenin Blanc from a single parcel of hundred-year-old vines on dark schist and coal in Anjou. Quince leads, drifting towards pineapple and candied orange peel, with blossom honey and a flinty, salty streak. It has real weight from a long, slow time in barrel, but bright acidity keeps it sharp, and the finish goes on and on.
