Domaine BOBINET - Les Gruches 2018
Domaine Bobinet is located outside Saumur, in the village of Beaulieu in the Loire Valley. The terroir in Saumur is distinguished by the ubiquitous tuffeau, the soft, white limestone rock that was used to build the famous castles of the Loire Valley. The domaine was formed in 2002 when Sébastien Bobinet took over 1.8 hectares of vineyard and cellar from his maternal grandparents who had retired 15 years previously. He now works alongside Emeline Calvez. The vineyard is managed organically, without certification.
Les Gruches is made of Chenin Blanc grown on limestone, from two plots, including one aged over 80 years with very low yield.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
