2015 Francois Chidaine, Montlouis-sur-Loire, Clos du Breuil Site_Santenots
marked by low yields and a temperate maturation period
glacial soils scattered with granite
pure wines made from impeccably farmed vineyards
The fabled Rocche di Castiglione vineyard
This cuvee is from 100 year old organically farmed vines on black volcanic sand
was navigated through precise harvesting to maintain the variety’s signature nerve and acid retention
Now directed by Marta and Carlotta Rinaldi
where the terroir is defined by glacial moraines and Urgonian limestone over a sandstone base
a substrate that provides the essential moisture retention and cooling influence necessary for structural balance
complementing the distinctive mineral character
In the 2018 vintage
