Tasting Notes: The vines, some of which are 100 years old, cover around 1.4 hectares! Chenin Blanc vines, whose yellow clay soils are characterised by slate and quartz. Wonderfully inviting on the nose with aromas of quince, candied orange peel, vineyard peach and some pineapple, underlaid with notes of blossom honey and a mineral-spicy flint touch. On the palate with a beautiful melting texture, juicy and elegant, with a great balance of fruit, minerality and a fine, well-supporting acid nerve.

Tasting Notes: This is a brand new white wine from Stéphane, made from the rare Grolleau Gris grape variety. This is actually a rather ridiculed variety, which is mainly used in the region for sparkling wine production and as a blending partner for rosé. In Stéphane's hands, however, this "wallflower" has become a real beauty. The nose reveals inviting aromas of white peach, Nashi pear, grapefruit and delicate exotic fruits, framed by notes of white flowers and a little aniseed. Elegant structure on the palate, fresh and fruity with great freshness and fine minerality on the finish.

Tasting Notes: Les Essarts celebrated its debut with the 2018 vintage. From young vines - planted in 2010 - from a small 0.22 ha single vineyard of the same name, with Silex infused limestone soils. Matured in 300 litre and 600 litre barrels. The bouquet reveals inviting aromas of grapefruit, quince and preserved lemons, along with fine buttery, toasted notes of almond brittle, honeycomb and mineral flint character characterised by the terroir. Beautifully full-bodied on the palate, yet fresh with well-supported acidity and a fine saline touch on the finish.
