2021 Sylvie Augereau Anjou Blanc Pulpes

The Sylvie Augereau Anjou Blanc "Pulpes" is a biodynamic white wine produced exclusively from Chenin Blanc grapes grown on centenary vines in the Loire region of France. Cultivated on a calcareous subsoil, the vineyards are managed according to biodynamic principles, with manual harvesting and minimal intervention. The winemaking process involves direct pressing followed by fermentations conducted in tanks or barrels using indigenous yeasts. Following fermentation, the wine is aged in barriques for 2 years and is bottled without collage, filtration, or the addition of sulfites, ensuring that the character of the terroir is authentically expressed.
