Manual harvesting and close sorting on the plot early in the morning, low-pressure pressing, inerting of musts with nitrogen and rapid drop in temperature to extract the fruit and aromas of the freshest grape varieties, gradual rise in temperature, start of fermentation and mixing of the lees with nitrogen and some oxygenation if necessary. Wine profile: This pure Chenin, aged without being spent in barrels and cultivated on the shale of the Bonnezeaux terroirs, is for us the most transparent and clear expression of the king of the Loire grape variety. A tense, sharp and straight mouth, a precise and powerful nose will allow the cuvée de la Montagne to evolve well over the years.
