2024 Clos des Breteches 'Les Pelioches', Loire Valley, France Le Grappin The wine is spontaneously fermentedCrafted by Mlanie Grenouilleau and Romain Nicolas, 'Les Plioches' is a 100% Chenin Blanc from 40 year old vines in Anjou. Only the second vintage from this for the duo. The grapes were direct pressed and aged on gross lees in old barrels, enhancing texture and depth. Bottled as Vin de France, this wine offers vibrant citrus notes and a crisp, food friendly profile.
