Tasting Notes

Sourced from an entirely walled organic certified vineyard, this 100% Chenin Blanc shows subtle and refined scents of lime and lemongrass, apricot, peach and quince.
Round and mellow attack on the palate with notes of preserved lemons and grapefruits with natural freshness and classic Saumur minerality.

THE CLOS OF CHEMIN DES MURS: the jewel of the castle! Fruit of the invaluable know-how of Antoine Cristal and his taste for experimentation, this clos was built, planted and cultivated according to an unprecedented technique and gives birth to a rare wine. On this half hectare of Chenin, each vine was planted on the north face of a tufa wall. The vine crosses this stone wall and offers its grapes to the heat of the south face. The trellis thus has "foot in the cool and belly in the sun".
