2022 Charles Dupuy Le Pont Vigneau Chenin Blanc

The vineyards of Dupuy are located in Verdigny in the Loire Valley in Northern France. The plots are mainly located in Sancerre, Pouilly-Fumé and Touraine. The great driving force and passion of the wine company is the Sauvignon Blanc grape, with which the most advanced techniques are used to make a wine that is as pure and authentic as possible. The company now also makes very nice wines with Chenin Blanc and Pinot Noir.

The estate and wine empire have been owned by Miguela and Joost Willebois since 2004. Dutchman Joost Willebois has French roots, his French ancestors had the name Villebois, which later became Willebois. When Miguela and Joost bought a wine estate in Verdigny in 2004, they named it Villebois. Their wines under the name Charles Dupuy are a tribute to Charles Etienne Dupuy, who donated his 80 hectares of land to the then wine estate in 1920.

The grapes for this Chenin Blanc are manually harvested in 2 runs. It certainly takes a bit more time, but this way the Chenin grapes can be harvested at their ripeness and freshness. The perfectly ripened grapes do not need malolactic fermentation. In the glass, the wine has a light and bright lemon yellow color with soft, subtle mineral tones wrapped in aromatics of melon and citrus. Tropical fruit, citrus and
Herbal aromas and flavors, with an equal acidity and minerality. This in a full and rich Chenin Blanc. Great as a standalone glass and gastronomically this wine stands proud everywhere and perfect with a nice piece of pork or a pasta with red or white sauce.
