Chenin X Pineau D'Aunis 2021 Blend
Chenin blanc (33%), Pineau d’Aunis (67%). Pineau d’Aunis has been aged in barrel for a year before being blended with Chenin Blanc 2021 in tank for the last 12 months before bottling. The final result plays with the freshness of young Chenin wines and the spiciness, the roundness and the aromatic complexity of the blanc de noir aged in barrel.
The Producer
Côme is a négociant-winemaker who has spent more than a decade working in the world of organic agriculture. He began to produce his own organic wines in 2013 in Saumur, producing around 6,000 bottles per year. He buys his grapes from 4 different organic growers, and from there he manages everything- from the picking of the grapes to the bottling of his wines, not to mention the sales! The grapes used are traditional in his part of the Loire Valley: Cabernet Franc and Grolleau are used for the reds (and for a sparkling rosé) and Chenin Blanc is used for his whites. Côme's winemaking ability, in combination with the chalky and schist terroirs of Saumur, leads to wines that are a perfect representation of the outstanding potential and diversity that can be found in the Loire Valley!
