Clos des Breteches Les Pelioches 2023Region: Loire Valley, France Appellation: Vin de France Color Style: White Wine Grapes: Chenin Blanc

marked by tense acidity and a solid structure

Their soils are limestone and gravel/clay-rich terraces

resulting in a fresh and delicate co-ferment

For many years

For those of you twisted enough to understand German wine law and the VDP

Grapes: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon

they are producing wines that are delightfully fresh and charismatic

The end result is an excellent expression of terroir with intense aromas

Trousseau (35%) and Poulsard (5%)

We do not own or make wine from any "estate" vineyards

Great wines of origin at a moderate price

The 2017 Chablis Montée de Tonnerre 1er Cru has a slightly earthier bouquet than the more flattering Mont de Milieu at the moment
