Tasting Notes

Aroma: An elegant, refined Loupiac. Floral nose.

Appearance: Brilliant gold with blossom hues.

Palate: Well-balanced palate with alcohol and sugar, not forgetting the acidity that gives this wine its freshness. A long palate of candied fruit. Pleasant at present but can be happily aged for 5 to 1 year.

 

Winemakers Comments

The vines selected for De Chanceny wines are located on tuffeau terroirs. Tender and white, this stone was used for the construction of the Loire castles, but it is also ideal for wine growing: it retains and redistributes rainwater on the land. The grapes are harvested by hand. A soft pressing and a fermentation at a cool temperature allow a good conservation of the aromas. The second fermentation is made according to the “Methode Traditionnelle”, in the bottle, after a selection of the best juices.
