La Belle Egarée 2022

This elegant white wine, crafted from Chenin vines aged 10 to 115 years, is rooted in the flint clay and limestone soils of Bueil-en-Touraine and Dissay-sous-Courcillon. Situated at an altitude of 100 meters, the vineyards are meticulously tended to ensure grapes reach full maturity, with hand harvesting and careful selection. After a long, gentle pressing, the juice undergoes spontaneous fermentation driven by native yeasts, with vinification entirely natural—free from additives or interventions—to preserve the integrity of the grape, vintage, and terroir.

Aged for 12 months on fine lees in barrels nestled within ancient tuffeau-stone cellars, this dry Chenin blanc reveals remarkable depth and precision. It offers a stunning mineral backbone complemented by subtle layers of orchard fruit, white flowers, and a saline finish. The wine’s purity, complexity, and balance capture the true essence of its unique terroir.
