Rivage
Rivage is the early pick Chenin Blanc of the estate, providing a good introduction to both the style of white wines from Anjou (magnificent), and of course, Margot et Natalia.
This is Chenin Blanc from a 40 year old plot, planted on silty soils mixed with red clay and shale in the subsoil. Direct pressed straight in to tank and aged on its fine lees for 9 months. Bottled after racking in June, without any SO2. Such a light, spritzy way to showcase this brilliant grape.
Tasting notes
Incredible poise and balance. You get that delightful concentred smell of Chenin Blanc, but there is a surprising light side to this wine. The citrus notes are restrained, yet it has a lovely finesse. Fresh vibes in abundance.
