Veau

The grapes come from the 1.68-hectare, west- and south-west-facing lieu-dit Le Veau near Rochefort-sur-Loire. There, a very thin, in places absent, layer of sand lies over exposed schist, giving the dry white wine mineral tension and ageing potential. The hand-picked grapes are pressed directly and fermented with natural yeasts. The wine is matured for 24 months in French oak casks with a capacity of 400 litres. The 2022 vintage is described as solar yet simultaneously highly drinkable; the style is powerful, taut and elegant, with a bitter finish.
