2022 Brendan Stater-West Saumur Blanc, Loire, France
$34.99
This is coming from a selection inside the parcel of Les Chapaudaises in Bizay. The selection is made in the lower slope of the parcel (facing north-east), where the grapes don't have the same concentration and depth from the other half that go into the bottling Les Chapaudaises. The soil type is mostly clay-sand-loam based and about 1m in depth before being in the limestone. The picking dates vary from the picking for Les Chapaudaises as the ripeness is a little later on this part of the vineyard, therefore needing 4-5 days more of ripening than Les Chapaudaises.
Fermentation and vinification takes place in stainless steel tanks. Brendan left some fine lees in the tank in order to nourish the wine during the aging for 6 months.
