The Wine:
100% Chenin from Ecocert and Biodyvin-certified biodynamic vines planted on the edge of the forest, with very deep roots. Late harvest by hand, 6 weeks after the Arcane cuvée, to allow light botrytis to develop on the berries. Low yields. Meticulous vinification: direct pressing, fermentation and one year of aging in concrete vats, on total lees. Depending on the vintage, there is spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Two years of maturation in bottles in the Domaine's own cellars.
Enchanting nose of mango, white peach, honey, honeysuckle. Perfect triptych of volume, tension and persistence, three grams of residual sugar per litre.
