Four generations of the Pieaux family have dedicated their lives to Chenin Blanc, crafting refined wines from the region’s chalky and mineral-rich “tuffeau” soils (the same stones used to build the Loire Valley’s legendary chateaux). Estate vineyards also contain a good amount of flint & limestone (found also in Sancerre) that contributes more complex aromas and enhances the wines’ already lively mineral body.

Respectful of terroir and biodiversity, the Pieaux family practices environmentally responsible viticulture

Grape variety – 100% Chenin Blanc

Vines age – 40+ year old vines

A fresh and mineral delight in youth. Citrus, grapefruit, apple blossom, flinty aromas lead on to flavors of lemons and limes, green apple and onto a lingering flinty minerality in a seductive finish

Pairing suggestions: As an aperitif; fresh goat cheese; asparagus; freshwater fish.
