Clos Thierrière "Quietude" Chenin Blanc, Loire Valley, France 2021

FROM STEPHEN GRAF:

THE WINE: 100% Chenin Blanc. Assemblage of the different terroirs identified on the domain. (Tuffeau / Red Clay / Flint Clay, Shale). Vines are 30 years old on average. Picked early for acidity.

THE PRODUCER: Twin brothers with a business background fell in love with winemaking during the pandemic under the tutelage of Vincent Carême. They purchased 12 hectares in Vernou-Sur-Brenne amongst a few neighboring natural wine makers and have produced a wonderfully successful first and second vintage of AOC Vouvray.
