Soil:

Farming:
Certified Organic
Alcohol by Volume:
12.8
Vineyards & Viticulture:
The Terre de Grès of Château de Bois-Brinçon represents 1.5 hectares of chenin grown on chalky, tuffeau soils. With only 6,000 vines per hectare, yields are consistently small and harvests average 40 hectoliters per hectare. Certified Organic by Ecocert; Certified Biodynamic by Biodyvin Region: Loire Appellation: Anjou Vineyard: Terre de Grès
Harvest & Vinification:
The grapes are picked by hand and rigorously sorted, whereby all botrytised grapes are eschewed. Whole bunches undergo a slow and gentle pressing (between 8 and 10 hours), after which native yeast fermentation occurs in neutral barrels. The wine is aged in neutral barrel receiving batonnage when necessary. The aromatic finesse of chenin is highlighted in the Terre de Grès, where its minerality and freshness gain complexity and intensify over time. Vinification: Neutral barrel Elevage: 12 months neutral barrel Alcohol: 13.31% Acidity: 3.6 g/L Residual Sugar: 2.5 g/L Malolactic: Yes
