On 6 hectares planted with chenin, Damien, Florence and their teams devote phenomenal attention to the land and the chenin vines. The pruning is precise, respecting the flow of sap and avoiding pruning wounds. The spring work, with the help of seasonal workers, aims at putting the vine in the best conditions of maturity: leaf removal, disbudding, trellising. Hours and hours of hard work that allow us to avoid systemic treatments and to respect the soil.
Les Genêts” comes mainly from sandy soils that cover the schists, from phtanite areas;
“Le Bel Ouvrage” is a blend of two types of soils: rhyolites (magmatic rocks present at the entrance of the village of Épiré) and schists outcropping on the ground.
The marriage of the juices from these two terroirs brings power, fleshiness and tension to the wine. “Savennières Roche-aux-Moines” is a terroir facing South-South-East, with a soil composed of silt and a subsoil of sandstone schist.
The charm of the chenin.
A plot-based cuvee from the Aeolian sand terroir on the Savennières plateau. The Genets are vinified and aged for 23 months in oak barrels and then in stainless steel tanks.
