Made exclusively from \u003cstrong\u003eChenin Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e grapes, it appears in the glass with a bright golden yellow hue. The aromatic profile reveals an intense and complex bouquet, where notes of ripe fruit and pineapple blend with hints of almond, anise and liquorice, enriched by floral notes and an ethereal touch. On the palate, it offers an enveloping sip, balanced by a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that gives dynamism to the taste and ensures a \u003cstrong\u003eremarkable persistence\u003c\/strong\u003e on the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this wine go back to the Savennières area, within a historic vineyard where the first vines were planted by Cistercian monks around 1130. For nearly nine centuries, this agricultural site has ensured uninterrupted harvests, maintaining its original vocation. The cultivation of \u003cstrong\u003eChenin Blanc\u003c\/strong\u003e follows strict organic and sustainable practices, favouring the Guyot training system. The \u003cstrong\u003eschist soils\u003c\/strong\u003e are the key element for the development of the wine's tension on the palate, while the \u003cstrong\u003elimited yield\u003c\/strong\u003e of the vines allows for particularly concentrated grapes, capable of conveying the pure essence of the place in the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process in the cellar follows an essential approach, aimed at preserving the purity of the raw material. Vinification begins with a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e of the bunches, a fundamental technique for obtaining a clear and stable must. Fermentation starts spontaneously thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eindigenous yeasts\u003c\/strong\u003e, without any external intervention that could alter the aromatic characteristics. The process then continues with eight months of ageing on fine lees in used \u003cstrong\u003eoak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice that promotes structural harmony and roundness without marking the aromatic profile with intrusive woody notes.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Savennières Les Vieux Clos 2024 represents a true journey through time, originating from a historic Loire vineyard founded by Cistercian monks around 1130.
