The Bonnes Blanches is a dry and vibrant Chenin Blanc. It’s the latest parcel to be
harvested as it is north-facing and on schist, which degrades to clay so the soils are cooler, creating a long ripening process. Offering up masses of concentration, perhaps a result of the nearly 40-year-old vines and the low yields, as well as a powerful schist-derived finish. Structure and firmness are the keys to this wine in youth. There are delicate, tangy apple flavors, Sicilian lemons and white flowers marrying with subtle almond pastry-like characters following 13 months on lees in demi-muids. Balanced and settled wine, ready for its life ahead.
