Domaine François Chidaine - Les Bournais 2017
Montlouis sur Loire

Domaine François Chidaine - Les Bournais 2017

 Despite all our efforts to protect our vines from frost, we lost 20% of our harvest on the night of April 26 to 27, 2017. Same night as 2016! Fortunately we made the choice to join forces with several winegrowers from Montlouis so that helicopters fly over the vines in the early morning and, with the help of bales of straw, they have managed to save the majority of the grapes! Spring was relatively stable, despite the famous frost at the end of April, as well as summer. 2017, a complicated but early year. The harvest began on September 11 and ended on October 5.

GRAPE: 100% Chenin Blanc PLOT: 4 hectares (2 to 18 years old)

ALCOHOLIC DEGREE: 13% RESIDUAL SUGARS: 2.30 g / L

BOTTLING: August 2018 TOTAL ACIDITY: 3.95 g / L

SOILS: Clay and limestone; subsoil made up of Tuffeau (soft white limestone rock through which the roots create a passage)

HARVEST: manual with successive sorting

METHOD OF CULTURE: The vineyard is managed in Biodynamics. No chemical phytosanitary product is used in the vineyard. The soils are grassed, honey plants and nematicides are sown in the rows. The preparations used come only from processed plant, animal and mineral materials. The qualities and particularities of each terroir are thus respected. The challenge is to find a balance and create harmonious living conditions between soil, plant and environment in order to obtain a quality wine.

VINIFICATION: After pressing in a pneumatic press, alcoholic fermentation is carried out by indigenous yeasts in demimuids, pieces of wood with a capacity of 600 liters. It can last up to six months. The "malolactic fermentation" is not sought.

AGING: It is carried out on fine lees, always in the demi-muids (total duration 11 months).

TASTING NOTES: Dry and fruity white wine with a limpid and brilliant color. On the nose and in the mouth, we enjoy an elegant bouquet of citrus fruits and white flowers. The mouth balances between aromatic complexity and freshness giving this wine a surprising length. To keep or to enjoy now.
