"A true celebration of Chenin, ideal for lovers of great white wines in search of authenticity.
An incredibly precise cuvée parcellaire, with delicate floral and white-fleshed fruit aromas. The energetic palate is underpinned by chiseled minerality. This wine captivates the senses and stands out for its exceptional purity. An invigorating, elegant tasting experience!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated wine (guide 2023) 91/100 (Vintage 2021)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 5*Stars (Exceptional producers, those who represent the absolute pinnacle of quality in France and the world)
About the domain :
After the death of his father, a charismatic figure in world winegrowing, Jean-Philippe Blot took up the reins alone, aided by a close-knit technical and cultural team. This is the best way to ensure the continuity of this flagship estate in the French wine world, which shines with wines that are always well-balanced, displaying great aromatic intensity and depth.
