Vinification of the Domaine Guenault Chenin Blanc IGP from Bougrier

The grapes come from carefully tended vineyards under the high quality standard of the IGP growing region. The vines grow in limestone-rich soils, which significantly influence the typical minerality and freshness of the wine. Hand harvesting takes place in the cool morning hours to preserve the freshness of the berries and ensure optimal ripeness.

After the gentle pressing of the harvest, the must is clarified before alcoholic fermentation begins. This takes place at controlled low temperatures in stainless steel tanks to preserve the delicate aromas and intensify the natural fruitiness. Following fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees, giving it additional fullness and structure. Gentle handling of the wine and the avoidance of oak barrel aging preserve its freshness and clarity.
