Prométhée 2023
Pristine Touraine Chenin Blanc, or Pineau de la Loire as it is sometimes known in this part of the world. From 25 year-old vines in a half-hectare parcel planted over a limestone bed with a mixed topsoil of rocks and quartz-rich sands, the wine has a degree of opulence from being both fermented and then raised for 8 months in a big, old 2500-litre foudre. There is a chiselled structure and profound minerality, the vines having reached deep down to the limestone bedrock for nutrients.
White peach and spices with taut acidity and a delicate, honeyed quality, neatly balanced out with pronounced salty minerals. A wine of precision and poise that has the potential to age incredibly well over the coming years.
