Benoît Courault Le Petit Chemin 2021
Benoît Courault Le Petit Chemin is created by one of the best winemakers in the Loire.
Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Chenin Blanc. The fruit comes from Benoit's youngest vines from a 0.7 hectare plot his vineyard extension Le Prieuré, located within Faye d’Anjou, a little village south of Angers along the Layon river. With its use of horses to plow the land and organic farming practices, the vineyard is as close to a farm-garden as it could be.
Taste Profile: Opens with a fresh nose of yellow apples, pears and honeysuckle aromas over a chalky mineral undertone. The medium-bodied palate has a crisp acidity and offers generous lemon and lime citrus flavours supported by a saline mineral backbone.
Winemaking Process: Hand harvesting and then direct pressing of the fruit. Fermentation with wild yeasts in large foudre, then the wine ages in the same large foudre for a short while before bottling. No fining or filtration before bottling.
