2021 Chidaine Montlouis Brut Nature
A Brut Nature sparkling wine from the Montlouis-sur-Loire appellation in the Loire Valley, made from biodynamically farmed Chenin Blanc. Produced using the traditional method, the wine undergoes natural fermentation in demi-muids, followed by a second fermentation in bottle and 18 months of lees aging. No dosage is added, resulting in a bone-dry profile. The wine is ageworthy and can be cellared medium-term. Low yields from biodynamic viticulture contribute to the wine's concentration and distinct minerality characteristic of the appellation.
