2024 Thomas Batardiere Chenin Blanc 'Grand Clos', Loire, France
$54.00
Certified biodynamic. 100% Chenin Blanc. A new parcel of Chenin planted in 2020, just to the east of the village of Rablay – it’s the last parcel on the hillside where ‘Esprit Libre’ is located. The new parcel for ‘Le Grand Clos’ is located on a break in the hill, on a significantly more eroded schist soil than the bottling of ‘Esprit Libre.’ Spontaneously fermented in inox with elevage in used foudre. Unfined and unfiltered, with less than 20ppm SO2 added at bottling.
Arrives the last week of April, 2026.
