Saint Martin
This cuvée was only produced in 2009, from a late harvest, then fermented and aged in french oak for 12 months. This peculiar vintage offered a spectacular maturity and allowed us to create this wonderful dry Vouvray with a light residual sugar (3g/L), that imparts its full bodyness.

Tasting notes
- Type : Dry
- Grape variety : Chenin blanc
- Color : Beautiful green-yellow with intense golden hues. Intense and shiny.
- Nose : Firstly, the nose reveals a spicy ensemble with curry and safran notes, and aromas of chicken broth. The subtil aromatic evolves from minerality to empyreumatic notes of smoked incense.
- Palate : The finish displays a delicate ensemble of puréed apple and pear. Delicate flavours impregnated by the long oak ageing, bring complexity and a light rancio touch.
