2021 Château Soucherie Anjou Blanc Blanc Ivoire

The Château Soucherie Anjou Blanc Blanc Ivoire is round, concentrated and at the same time refined and juicy: this Chenin Blanc shows its terroir in a beautiful, pure way. The grapes grow on a clay soil with a red slate underlayer. The vineyards are cultivated as naturally as possible: without the use of chemicals and fertilizers.

After manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed, after which the juice is transferred to 500 liter oak barrels (25% new). After fermentation, the wine matures for 8 to 10 months on the lees, building up a round, refined character. Relatively ripe aromas of blossom and tropical fruit on the nose. The wine also seems ripe in taste. It is round and concentrated with mild acidity and a good balance between ripe and juicy notes
