Les Graippeaux 2022

Les Graippeaux 2022 comes from a Chenin parcel planted on Jurassic limestone soils in Montreuil-Bellay.

The nose opens with ripe citrus, white-fleshed fruits, dried flowers, and a fine chalky note that intensifies with aeration.

The palate combines density and tension. The texture is ample, supported by a precise acidity that extends the wine to a long, saline, and deeply mineral finish.

A terroir-driven Chenin, built on balance, where the natural richness of the vintage is always contained by the energy of the limestone.
