The vineyard benefits from the refreshing influence of the nearby Atlantic Ocean, with sea breezes that temper summer heat. The poor and well-drained soils, combined with a Mediterranean climate marked by significant temperature variations, promote slow ripening of the grapes and give the wine a precise, saline expression deeply linked to its terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Chenin grapes come from old bush vines, harvested manually in the cool of the morning to preserve aromatic purity. After meticulous sorting, the berries are gently pressed in whole bunches. The must is gravity-fed into old French oak barrels, where fermentations occur spontaneously thanks to indigenous yeasts. Aging continues on fine lees, without excessive bâtonnage, in these same containers, to maintain the saline tension and mineral precision characteristic of the decomposed granite terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis wine reveals notes of \u003cstrong\u003eripe stone fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ezesty citrus\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eyellow apple\u003c\/strong\u003e, complemented by \u003cstrong\u003edelicate floral touches\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esubtle spicy nuances\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a \u003cstrong\u003esaline mineral dimension\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cstrong\u003eFine woody accents\u003c\/strong\u003e from aging bring complexity and depth without dominating the fruit.
