Tasting Notes
I shouldn't open with price but this is an incredible wine for the money. This is 100% Chenin Blanc fermented in a mixture of older oak and stainless steel and then left on lees for over 20 months to build layer upon layer of complexity. Beautiful oxidative hints, hard orchard fruit and leesy characters help to round out a very smart wine. I've been a fan of this wine for years and am sure this is the best it's ever looked. - Pete L
Domaine Le Facteur is a natural-wine project in the Loire Valley born from the partnership of Fabien Brutout and Mathieu Cosme, rooted in Vouvray and neighbouring Touraine. Fabien joined Cosme’s team in 2008 and in 2013 they launched Le Facteur to make “wines for friends” — fresh, drinkable wines with a focus on purity, minimal intervention, and playfulness. The domaine now owns about 6 hectares of organic vineyards, planted on calcareous clay soils, with vines of Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pineau d’Aunis, Gamay and Pinot Noir.
In the cellar, fermentations are native and minimal additives are used — wines rarely exceed 50 mg/L of sulfur. Bottlings include sparkling, still whites, rosés and reds, often made in small lots. Le Facteur’s style seeks to be lively, textural and authentic: wines that speak clearly of their terroir, drinkability, and the energy of Loire natural wine, while maintaining a light, soulful character.
