Tasting Notes
I drank this over two days and loved experiencing how the wine evolved over that time. There is power and depth to the wine and still has loads of acidity plus a touch of VA which added a bit more character to the wine for me. Oxidative hints of bruised apple, manuka honey, white blossom, bees wax upon opening and as the wine takes in more air it starts to get its flow shifting from tension to lush and inviting. Such a cool wine. - Pete L
Since 2004, Lise and Bertrand are wine growers in the golden centre of France's Loire Valley, in the spiritual home of Chenin Blanc, across the river from Vouvray. According to the Jousset philosophy, great wine is made only in the vineyard. Once they have achieved the considerable task of growing perfect fruit containing the essence of the place where it is grown, work in the cellar is reduced to merely patient observation and a guiding hand.
With this in mind, Lise and Bertrand spend all of their time in the fields, using organic and biodynamic methods and horse plowing, encouraging the vines to express the purity of place. Wines are thus vinified with zero oenological interventions, simply very low doses of SO2 where required. Of particular interest is Lise and Bertrand's passion for Natural Sparkling Wines (Ancestral Method, or 'Pet Nat " in France). - Importer Note
