Nuit de Maceration
Mariette et Alberic (Loire)
Chenin Blanc • 2022
The fruit here comes from the same clay-limestone soil parcel in Rablay-sur-Layon, but harvested fifteen days after the grapes that went into Mirlifore. The whole bunches of grapes saw two weeks of maceration with occasional light pigeage before a year ageing in old barrels. Coming out a deep amber colour, it displays an opulent stone fruit character, tempered by refined tannins and a savoury finish.
