Les Grillonnières 2020 - François Chidaine

Montlouis sur Loire 

  

 

Cellaring : Now to 2035+.

Made from 90+ year old vines on flinty clay soils overlying tuff bedrock (a soft white limestone), Alice Chidaine's Montlouis sur Loire Les Grillonnières displays a bright, vital citrus color and opens with a pure, delicate, fresh bouquet that intertwines fresh lemon with limestone notes in a very delicate yet substantial and truly fascinating and refined way. Vinified with indigenous yeasts in demi-muids for 11 months, this is a full-bodied, intense and concentrated yet refined and even filigree Chenin with delicate mineral acidity, fine tannins and lasting structure with intense and refreshing iodine length. This is a fascinating Montlouis, complex yet light and elegant, beautifully balanced and not to be served too cold. If you like Burgundian Chablis or Pinot Noir, you should try this one - but in a Burgundian glass. However, let the wine breathe for several hours, as it will get better and better, unfolding its beautiful nature more and more.

  

VARIETY

100% Chenin Blanc

  

VINEYARD CULTURE

The vineyard is managed in Biodynamic method. No chemical plant protection products are used. The soils are grassed, melliferous and nematicidal plants are sown in the rows. The preparations used come only from transformed vegetable, animal and mineral materials. The qualities and particularities of each terroir are thus respected. The challenge is to find a balance and to create harmonious living conditions between earth, plant and environment in order to obtain a quality wine.

  

SOILS

Flinty clay; bedrock made up of Tuffeau (soft, white limestone through which the roots create a passage).

  

VINIFICATION

After pressing in a pneumatic press, the alcoholic fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts in demi-muids, wooden pieces of 600 liters capacity. It can last up to six months. The "malolactic fermentation" is not sought after.

I love this site. Whether it's for old wines, or recent ones. The choice of partner estates is impressive, and allocations are sold at fair prices. Ludovic's advice is always excellent.
