Domain BOBINET - Les Gruches 2019
Domaine Bobinet is located outside Saumur , in the village of Beaulieu in the Loire Valley . The terroir of Saumur is distinguished by the ubiquitous tufa, the soft, white limestone rock that was used to build the famous castles of the Loire. The estate was formed in 2002 when Sébastien Bobinet took over 1.8 hectares of vines and cellar from his maternal grandparents who had retired 15 years earlier. He now works alongside Emeline Calvez . The vineyard is conducted in organic farming, without certification.
Les Gruches is made from Chenin Blanc grown on limestone, from two plots, one of which is over 80 years old with very low yields.
Grape variety: 100% Chenin Blanc
